We made a ramp and put it in the hole. All babies are out now! Five of them left over night with the mother and the other one I found wandering around. They’re all free now! <3
It ended up not panning out; the car got stuck midway through. They come out every once and a while but they know to keep an eye out for me. I’m going to called the SPCA in the morning since I’ve got school tomorrow and can’t be working on getting them out. Still only have three.

My neighbors couldn’t care less tbh. They’ve saw me out there all day and haven’t bothered to help. Im going to try to take off my grate again with my mother if the street side doesn’t work out.
My mother was helping me but she’s not able to balance on the grate like I am. The only place we can stand is the five inches of cement around it and the rest is water.
I called a local one and they said they only deal with sick or injured wildlife and that the ducklings don’t count as such.
The drain is 5 feet off of the shore of a lake. It’s about three feet deep and then there’s a tunnel that runs parallel to the ground where the water empties to. The...
