Ever since these ducklings hatched last week, I've been sitting at their level and just waiting for them to approach me to get them use to being handled for their new homes.
However, they want nothing to do with me at all.
Yesterday I sat in the grass for almost an hour waiting for them to come up to me but they just stayed away.
I haven't even tried to pick them up aside from moving them from the brooder to outside then back inside at night.
Normally it works for any ducklings I hatch or buy.
The only birds wanting to be near me are my 2 older pullets.
Am I doing something wrong here?
