Catch ducks that do not want to be locked in at bedtime? They are currently in the Holly/pyrocantha hedge and unreachable.

Corn and mealworms work with my ducks. They dont take themselves to bed but do take themselves into the run at bedtime and go in the coop as soon as I go out to lock up.

I remember seeing a video that Vember put on here where her ducks were going beserk for meal worms
. Chickenlady's runners also used to love cherry tomatoes - so funny watching them go down their necks whole
