Hi there, it depends on where your ducks came from. Are they domesticated (hatched in an incubator) or were they captured from the wild? I'm guessing yours were domesticated lol, I wouldn't think anyone would capture an adult duck and sell it. In all if your duck was born domestic it will not have the natural instinct to migrate because they weren't raised with a wild mallard flock. As for them flying, they are mallards which means they have the capability of flight, Good luck!

You could always just clip their wings to make sure that they can't fly away.....
