when and how to release ducklings?
« on: July 02, 2009, 08:06 »
Ducklings are about 8 weeks old now, and have grown quite big (still gorgeous though).  Drakes terrified and chased them the other day when we tried to get them to broaden their horizons.  Any tips? 

Thanks

Heather

I think it's going to be a case of just letting them get on with it Heather :(
The drakes will chase them but at 8 wks they are big enough to have a go back :D

They are terrified though!  Perhaps another week?  :nowink:

Thanks for the advice.

I think Houdini's 9 weeks old and still shows no signs of leaving home  ::)

If they're safe, well fed and are happy with each other's company, they'll probably be staying for a while yet  :D
