Jim, will do. Updated thought, house the young duckling in the garage for 3-4 weeks then move them outdoors onto the island and warmer weather. Build a chicken wire cage with some assess to water with the shelter inside the enclosure. Feed the ducklings in the shelter to get them accustomed to it and at 6-8 weeks when they have their new feathers take down the chicken wire fence to let them bowse out into the waters around the islands. This may help to keep them on the island at night and if later they want to start to lay eggs they will do it on the island and not the shoreline where the predators will find them as "sitting ducks". I will feed them nightly and have them follow me back to the shelter on the island. How does this sound to you????? Is this a good idea to help train these ducks for the future and help to reduce the risk of being killed. Thanks for all your help.
