That's the way mine were too, running around and sort of freaking out. Of course then I showed up with my giant umbrella and really scared the bejeesus out of them! Ducks do not like umbrellas. I was trying to heard them back to their house since it was storming so bad and they ran like the dickens to get away from me. Then Deliah got separated from the others and went under a pine tree. I feel bad for scaring them so much, but Deliah was so cute when I went back for her. She was crouched under the tree with her neck stretched out, trying to be as small and flat as possible. Poor baby was in scared duckling mode, I think. Anyway, I no longer use my umbrella around them and now try to put them in the pen before any major weather happens, just to be safe.
