San Diego Chicken meetup and Chat thread - Page 552

Hi everyone!  I haven't posted in this forum for a long time.  

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I found two dumped Pekins at Lake Murray today.  I caught them and took them home, but the lady who rescues ducks in my area can't take them.  So, I am either going to see if a feed store can take them or I am going to take them to the county animal shelter.  So, if anyone wants to adopt them, they can find them there as I can't keep them in my apartment.

Here is a photo of the two.  It was pouring rain when I found them and the heron was eyeing them.  It is unknown if there were any more ducklings dropped off.  If there were, the heron probably ate them.

Good news, I have an update!  See below the photo.

Update!  I just called a place called "Bird Crazy" in Clairemont and they said they can take them!  So, if you want Bird Crazy's number, PM me and I will give it to you.

Good for you. Good for BIRD CRAZY. I was suprised they are taking them since they mainly sell hook and softbills.

I cant believe folks would just dump domestic ducks to fend for themselves. Most never make it thru the night.

I'll take them if she hasn't already.

That would be great!  They're already at the store at 8864 Clairemont Mesa Blvd.  I can give you their number if you want, I don't want to post it here in a public forum.  They are safe and sound with hay, food and a heat lamp. I think the owner is eager to give them to a good home.  

anyone interested in doing an egg swap with me?

I have welsummer eggs.I wont need your eggs until middle of may.

just checking as i have a dozen here and my bators are full.

What happened with the home made bator?
