Ducks Keep Running Away from Us...help?

Question

Our domestic ducks are about 6 weeks old now, but we recieved them when they was a week old, so we didn't have them from birth...

The problem is that they used to at least sit on us when they were a couple of weeks old, but now they've grown up alot they just run away desperately from us, one of them has sprained her leg running so fast.

Is there a way of getting them to not run away from us? Our other 3 ducks that we got before are fine with us...

Thanks

Bummer.  You might need to start from the beginning and begin socializing them all over again.  Was there some sort of experience that scared them?  At a week old, they were still chicks - I would have assumed that they would still readily bond with you.  I'd just give it time.  They might be like teenagers, and are just going through the "YUCK!  PARENTS!" stage.  ;)
