Demanding ducks

The ducks get locked up  at about 8pm every night. And then unlocked at 10 am the next morning . it means that any eggs that are laid ( they usually lay in the morning )  will be easy to find, rather than laid wherever she thought at the time .  The pain of being locked up is eased by feeding them some  grain once they are  in their enclosure.

So at about 7.30 the ducks appear  at the front door.

they then follow you across the lawn

and willing go into their pen, to be fed grain
