New Home, Unhappy Ducks

[Ducklets1999]

I have 4 hand-reared calls, I have finally finished the new home and enclosure, but now they are in the new pad, all they do is shout and run up and down the enclosure looking for us... should I take them out or leave them to it, I feel so mean for ignoring their shouts

IDK but @WVduckchick raises calls all the time so hopefully she will be on to help you.

I would leave them for a bit at least. Getting used to a new place can be stressful. I generally start with short times and increase it. Other times I just move them and go away. It depends on how stressed they are, and what type of poultry.

I raise Calls too, what colors are they @Ducklets1999 ? Love to see some pictures!

I agree, what they're doing right now is normal, birds don't like change, personally I'd just leave them in there, by tonight they should be acting a lot better. You could distract them with some treats, or, of course, a water source to play in.

Ok, no worries, so I shouldn’t leave them in therefore for the night?

For me, that'd depend on how they're acting this evening, if they have calmed down a bit (I assume they have) I'd just leave them, if they haven't I'd probably put them back into their own pen.
