What Breed?

We use rakes in herding classes the small kind they work really great. Work great on the dog and the ducks.

I know right!!! Duck are just the coolest, stubborn, selfish, crazy, loving animals!!! I am trying to figure out how to train mine to come into there run/coop too!!!! I posted a thread but no one has answered yet. They are in there run now just I want to know how to get them back in it before I let them go!

We've been giving them treats at night to lure them in, but sometimes they're like "nah I don't want this lettuce, do you have anything better ?"

This is great advice. Feed and water them as soon as they are in. Mine now come to the sound of the water filling and complain loudly about where is the food. I ordered a Shepherd s crook because I thought it was cool but it works really well. Broom handle is a good idea. I used a snow shovel at first.

ooo I need to look into this shepherds hook and fully embrace my homesteading ways! I've always wanted to have a sheep farm, so I can practice on my ducks!
