Maybe you can offer to buy Gilbert. If these people are as unscruptulous as you say, then money may talk. They may sell him to you so they wouldn't have to care for him.
Anyone in the Lansing Michigan area that would like 2 Khaki Campbell female ducks, I have two that need new homes. About 1 1/2 years old. Both great layers. Have never been completely free ranged, have been in a fenced in run, so I'm not sure how they would do loose, so would prefer they be fenced.
Hello everyone. How is your 4th of July going?
Anyone within a one hour drive of Lansing, MI have puppies for sale? We lost our beloved 9 yr. old Great Dane this weekend. I am looking for just about any type of short haired mixed or pure breed. Must be a male less than 16 weeks old.

Since you are in FL i would put vent windows on all sides so there is plenty of cross breeze. Put mesh over them and maybe hinged doors that can be propped open or dropped closed depending on weather. Good luck and happy chicken keeping. How many chickens are you planning?
Try putting a sock with rice in with the duckling. You can warm the sock slightly in the microwave just be very careful. And definately get him or her a friend soon. Good luck. I think you will love them.
