soreshoulder Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 hi all, i have a small sized pond on our farm which has just been dug out again. In the past it occasionally hold ducks but not for any length of time. My question is will the ducks find it? i have put a bit of wheat down and am hoping to get some reared ducks, will these attract wild'uns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakin stevens Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 hi, yes ducks should find the pond keep an eye on things through the summer, if the pond is small i wouldnt go mad stocking reared ducks , they will fetch others in because they start calling when other ducks circle round. i run a good sized pond with 100 reared duck, you have to juggle feeding because we get alot of wild birds. as soon as the reared birds get flying i push them off onto another pond half a mile away, then feed at dusk and the reared birds and wild duck should arrive just before dark. if your reared ducks have no place to go they kind of get used to the pond and dont fly well.
