Understand, they will NEVER do what you want.

Take a tip from Akela and just bow to the gods, doing whatever they request:

I would be sure to visit them and sit with them as often as possible, and sometimes bring them treats (many ducks like peas but they all have something they enjoy). They may not come up to you for treats but you can roll the peas toward them.

Elf won't eat from my hand but she'll let me pet her (when she's not molting). Everyone else will take food from my hand, but a few don't like to be touched. Just some example behaviors. I like keeping the ducks comfortable with me being close to them for those times they are injured or ill and I need to pick them up to treat them or check on them.

You have a lovely place, and it's good to see you're being conscientious with your ducks!
