New duck owner in need of advice.

[April and herducks]

I got 1 Peking duck ,tweety, and she immediately imprinted on me. Although it was very cute and sweet she would cry constantly if I got out of her site and she was determined to be a house duck. I hated leaving her alone when I went to work so I got another baby Peking,daffy.
Daffy immediately acted like tweety was her mom and wants nothing to do with me. Tweety has also become more distant.
The main problem is catching them to put them in their coop at night. It's not that big of a deal for tweety but I have to chase daffy. It's obvious he doesn't like it and makes him dislike me even more.I've tried herding him with a stick but it usually ends up me kinda pinning him down with it or cornering him. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to BYC!! Food is always the way to their heart! If they know you have treats they will follow you to the ends of the Earth!
A few favorites of my flock are PEAS, mealworms, romaine lettuce, fresh corn on the cob, watermelon...
Once they both get in the routine of heading to the coop for the night it will be much easier! Be patient and consistent!

Welcome to BYC. As prey animals, ducks generally don't like being grabbed, and doing so only makes things worse. A wide gate to your pen, treats, and slowly 'herding' are your best options.
