Hi again everyone! I want to thank all of you who helped me get my ducks re-homed at a very safe place. Yesterday we went and turned them over to the BEAKS wildlife bird sanctuary. After the first re-homing attempt fell through, I called and the Director immediately said yes after I explained...
Yes I do but I don't really catch them eating it. One girl is on the light side, acting fine but she isn't gaining like my others so I increased her protein by adding some cat food and I'm thinking that may have helped cause the soft eggs. I have stated sneaking the oyster shells in with the...
You people are AWESOME! Thank you all for your suggestions and I'm like Ms. Lydia, I'd have to do a little quick checking just to make sure everything is on the up and up.
Thanks, but I think the requirements are pretty reasonable...such as, They Are Not Food. If I can't find someone who won't eat them I'll just keep looking until I do.
Requirements aren't much, especially since I'm in the situation I'm in but first and foremost I want them in a safe place away from predators, especially dogs. These are pets and not food. All 5 were rescued from horrible conditions and I would just like them to stay together if possible or...
Ok, probably more protein than usual. I have been feeding 2 of my girls more protein due to them being under weight. No illnesses that I'm aware of, all ducks seem healthy but my youngest girl, around a year old, seems to eat but hasn't been picking up weight. All are active and preen really...
Ok, just returned to the duck house and noticed 2 soft shelled broken eggs laying on the floor. Surely this isn't normal is it? I assumed all 3 of my girls layed this morning because I gathered 3 eggs this morning. The shells I found this evening weren't hard but soft. And how in the world...
Hi all! Anyone looking for some pekin ducks? I have to move to another state and my 5 pekins I can't have there. I live in Orange Park Florida and would drive a little distance to deliver them if I can find someone to take them. Now I have 5, 2 boys and 3 girls and they are not for eating...
Ok, where do I find the state thread? So sorry, I am new at this... Looked up state county extention and looks to me like they are all about raising livestock to eat. I don't want my ducks eaten.
Hi everyone. New here at this great place! I finally joined after months of reading on this site. Unfortunately I have to rehome my ducks because I have to move out of state. I listed my ad in the proper area, I think, but no ones answering.:( Me and my family have to move before this month...
Hi all, been reading on this site for a while now, great site. Unfortunately me and my family have to move out of state this month. I have 5 pekin ducks, 3 females and 2 males needing a home as soon as possible. These are pets not food. I live in northern Florida and would consider meeting...
