How to Get Your Ducklings to Like You!! (Ducks 101) 

I like to think people who are watching this are struggling to make their baby ducks like them

This was a big help as I’m planning on getting ducklings tomorrow, I will definitely spend time with them!

It is called conditioning. Pick-up and pat each one for a few seconds and then give the treat after everyone got loved on. It works as positive reinforcing and so far I have found they demand love to get the treats.

I’ve been looking around & I do like the look of the Black Swedes, but I may actually try the poor nearly wingless runner ducks - look like bowling pins! Yours are so fuzzy fluffy tho and the runners are so friggin weird! But you’re a lot of help & I appreciate all you did to film your egg laying family. Best to you!

Black Swedish ducklings?! i have two of my own as well 🥰 I love them!

Oh wow, I love these guys! I have 2 ducks and I love ur videos! Keep it Up @The Duck Man!

This breed of duck is not friendly they are shy I recommend yellow ducklings they are friendly and will follow you

Pet them, hold them, let them swim in the pool with me. They follow me everywhere. 😂I’m a Duck Dad

Thank you for this video. I’m expecting two Cayuga eggs to hatch in three weeks and I want to start taming them from a young age so that they let me pick them up and pet them whenever I feel like it.

I probably won't be getting ducks, but I love these guys! Have you named them? :D

I just got ducklings a day ago and they’re like maybe 4-7 days old and ones name is Annie and one is Gwen and I love them both thanks for the info ) and I think it’s so sad to ship these little animals to other places and a lot of them don’t survive, it’s so sad

I sure wish there was a rent-a-duck option. I could use these guys for grasshopper control this year! BTW, ducks LOVE grasshoppers!

My ducks imprinted on me but I raised them from 3 days old, one of them really protective.

My ducks love pets but they are very skittish every time we walk near them they always run away can someone help?

Can you teach us how to make your grown duck to like you? I have trouble training my duck, He usually just attack and flies at me

Where did you get that waterer?

I got a few couple weeks back and mine does not. Like being touched at all, They will eat from my hand but when I try and grab they straight dip on me

my duck is 3 monthes old and i spend everyday with her pretty much since she was born until now .but a few times things accidentally happened like stuff been dropped on her and she got really starttled alrhough that she is completely okay but she seems to be traumatized by it ,she used to let me pet her and pick her up and trusted me 100% and actually seemed happy to see me everytime but now she is scared of me all of the sudden and doesnt trust me and doesnt let me touch her that much anymore , what should i do cuz i really cant stand this and i need to get her to trust me again plz anyonen let me know if you have any tips on how to regain her trust thank you❤

What kind of duck breed are they?

He's sleeping on my leg rn

I was able to my duckling home right after I bought him

My neighborhood rooster killed dozen of baby duck eggs he open them all only 2 survived we took them in they grew so fast I think spend lot of time specially those first days I kept them warm on my chest so they love to be carried cup them up they follow me everywhere I spend so much time with them we claimed a corner of the lake noone gets near not even the rooster.

I hope this helps tbhhh im trying to socalize them

What do they like to eat?

Im casually chilling with my duckling while watching this and its paused the show and i had to unpause it- and literally in have food and water infront of me and im sitting cris-cross apple sauce, its nibbling on me-

I have 5 duckligs

My Ducks Actually Like Being Picked Up !

My ducks are just scared of me, they have been a little better but still don’t want me by them

My duck sleeps in my bed with me...

My ducks are terrified of me and everyone else lol

I have brought 6 adult egg laying female khakhi campbell, but they never let me touch them they start flying all around the coop even when im trying to feed them. I don't know how I can tame them. They are really Wild!

Thanks so much for this

Cuddling ducklings is the best thinig in the world and you're missing out if you don't do it. My ducklings - especially fawn and white runners - will fight to climb into my husband's hand when they are tiny just to sleep there. They're missing a mom and if you want your ducks to love you, and be easy to handle, spend as much time holding them as possible the first 8 weeks!

So I got mine from cal ranch and mine sleeps with me at night

is it possible to condition then even after 5 weeks??

My pet duck calls for me as soon as i leave the room....plays in my beard sometimes 😂...only been a week but she is a sweetheart....they seem to be very social and loving

Every time I go to these two ducks in my backyard I tried to give them water and food but they keep running away I need solutions

Mine go crazy when I hand feed them grapes

Thank you so much for the advice. My ducks are so scared of me. I will definitely try your advice.

How do you clean the fake grass when they do their thing?

Mine already love every time I leave them I hear them yell😂

What type of ducks do you have I also have ducks a black one like the ones in the video and a gray one

My ducks just hatched today
