Hi folks, good to be hear. I just flew in from the coast and boy are my arms tired....(sorry about that, couldn't resist).
Appreciate any advice you can offer here:
I'm a veteran with chickens and decided to try a few ducks for the first time this year. My 3 duckins are 2 weeks old today and, although they are adorable and healthy, they are quite skittish and do NOT like to be held and scoot away. My kids and I have tried to hold them/imprint every day from Day 1 to get them use to us, but no luck. Got a mallard, rouen and pekin. The main reason I got them is that from what I read they are supposed to be more friendly, pet-like than chickens, but I'm finding the opposite. Any suggestions? Thanks!
