This is our first go around of having ducks and our three are around 4 months old now. Usually at night they are at my feet begging for food and to be put to bed. If I don't get out at the right time, they often put themselves to bed. But not tonight. Our neighbor just today put 5 new ducks on our small pond (we share this pond with our neighbor) that she moved here after they were done raising them at her elementary school she teaches at. I don't think she intends to care from them in anyway, just let them be. One of them has taken to my three ducks and so I don't know if they are trying to protect it in some way, or if this new tiny duck has become my ducks new leader. And so tonight, I can not get them to come off the pond and come to bed in our locked shed. My ducks and the new little duck are all huddled out on the water. I'm so nervous they won't stay on the water, they are usually up on the shore. Our pond is very shallow and marshy and we live in a wooded, predator infested area. I'm quite nervous and don't know what to do other than worry : (
