Pekin duck needs home

[Daretorain]

It appears that someone dumped a Pekin duck in the pond behind my house. I wasnt concerned at first because I thought it could befriend the muscovy ducks that frequent the pond. Unfortunately, the Pekin refuses to integrate with the muscovy. Instead, he spend his days next to a child's white volleyball that fell into the pond. I'm assuming that he has found comfort next to the white object, because he is only use to being around other Pekin. If anyone is interested in taking him/her, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Have you fed him any peas/corn or anything?
Do you know if it's a drake or hen?
Have you caught him yet?

Yes, we started feeding him yesterday. He came right to us to eat, but was too scared to allow us to touch him. And I'm unsure of the sex.

I'm in St Augustine. I will come and help you catch the Pekin if you private message me your address and cellphone number. I rehab and rehome ducks. If it is male, he will stay with me until I find a nice home. If it is female she will go to my son's flock of pekins
