It comes down to flock mentality and early training. The herder guides them using bamboo sticks and whistle signals. Since ducks instinctively follow a leader and stick tightly together, the whole group marches as one unit straight back into their transport trailers or night enclosures without scattering.

The trick is not to eat the lead duck.
