I have two pekin ducklings that are two weeks old today. I've had them for just over a week now and they still run from me when I put my hand in their box. The lady at the store said that I should only handle them 3-4 times per day until they are at least 8 weeks old, but I'm afraid that, if I do that, they'll be scared of me, and I've got plans to get 4 adult ducks from my husband's grandma and her ducks are all half wild (she didn't handle them much as ducklings). I really want these two to be tame and friendly.
How often do you guys handle your ducklings? How long do you handle them each time? Any suggestions for me?
