About 10 days ago a trio of adorable Pekins showed up on my property early in the a.m., and initially I thought someone had "dumped" their grown up Easter ducks on me. They spent the first night in some brush in my backyard, but now they come every other day - to the same spot in my yard - but leave promptly at 9:00 p.m. I purchased a bag of duck feed and they usually devour two large bowls of it throughout their daily stay. I decided to follow them last night. I live on a busy street, and they crossed TWO streets and walked about 1/4 mile to a cemetery (I didn't even know it was there!) behind a church just down the street from me, that has a very nice little pond that they marched directly to. They have a beautiful setting there, but the trip to my house is dangerous as I saw some brat teenagers swerve to hit them when I was following the ducks. How can I get them to stay with me? I don't have any experience with ducks and don't know what kind of "house" they'd like. I'm willing to fence off a large area with a kiddie pool, but I want them to be happy. I don't know why they showed up at my house in the first place, but now I think they come back to eat. Any advice would be very appreciated!
