I’m a bit worried about my two Swedish Blues. Something seems to have them out of sorts and I don’t know what.
To be fair; the weekend was a bit chaotic; had family over. Son was riding his quad. Tried to put the pool in for them. Put them in the pool, they freaked out. Took the pool out a couple days later.
But they usually bounce back pretty fast. Today, I brought my ducklings out, to introduce them through the fence; and they freaked out again. Not like them.
What should I do to make them feel better???
 
You'll probably have to go back to the start Ducks don't like change they get spooked and it takes a while for them to get over it. Try taking something they really like maybe mealworms they are a big hit here and just sitting out with them tossing some on the ground do this also when you take the ducklings out so both sides are more distracted instead of freaking out. Just keep trying. Also are you sure there isn't a real threat like a predator around?

I haven’t seen anything; but I can keep a better eye out.
They are pretty secure, I have hardware cloth all the way around their run. And their house is completely enclosed.
