I have 2 pekins and one cayuga. They are all 2 weeks ancient. The pekins seem to be positively cool around public. I can pick them up and they won’t freak out, chirp, and try to jump out of my hands. The cayuga is very worried of me. She emits a shrill chirp when I’m around and runs away from my touch. I think it’s distressing the two pekins. I separated the cayuga from the pekins for a few days and noticed the pekins became more comfortable with me, but when I put the cayuga back with the pekins, the cayuga would get frightened of me and in turn would make the other ducks frightened. I don’t know what to do. I hurts me and pisses me off that the cayuga and sometimes the other ducks are worried of me and run away from me, but the only thing I can think to do is to just be very gentle with them. It’s taking a lot of patience and sometimes I get upset with the cayuga and I end up scaring all of them because I act more aggresively, trying to forcefully pet them.
Any tips? I want to be their mama.
