I throw a few in the pond to whet their appetites, then throw some on the deck or in the yard and they're out in no time. <BR/><BR/>Good luck!

DO NOT LET HIM GO! Once he starts quacking like mad, she will hear him and come running. Have some bread that you can even bait her with and be ready to grab her. She might even follow you home on her own!<BR/><BR/>I use to keep Pekin ducks and they were so imprinted on me that they would follow me to the bus stop, waddle around all of the kids, and after the bus would come, they would follow me hack into the back yard. We turned many heads on our walks. We had someone lock up breaks in the yard to stair and almost get hit from behind!

I'm assuming the pond is big...like in boat big? If that is the case you would probably need someone to go out in a boat and SLOWLY drive her to shore between two people who are very, very wide apart like 40 feet apart. A trail of food up the bank a ways would help. The boat comes in to shore, they get out and everyone slowly walks towards Inga and hopefully she walks away, to home. Probably not though. Someone usually moves to quickly and she'll panic and fly right over you back into the pond. But maybe you'll get lucky. Another duck in a cage across the road quacking obnoxiously would encourage her in the right direction. Ducks are quite a pain in this kind of situation as they spook so easily. Determination is the key. And moving very, very slowly. Sometimes it's taken me awhile, but I usually figure out how to bring them home. Wish I was there to help!

Especially when you go off on your little tangents. ;) <BR/><BR/>Secondly...sorry, I'm not sure how to coax a rogue duck home. The chickens, we train them to come to a rattling can of scratch along with our "heeeere, chick, chick, chick" call. We've never had ducks before and don't know if they're trainable in the same way. Besides, the training bit is a tad too at this point. Maybe you can still lure her with a can of food and have one of the kids tackle and grab her while she's feeding?<BR/><BR/>Good luck! <BR/><BR/>p.s. your dogs are very handsome!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
