2 Pekin ducks in SW Chicagoland in need of re-homing

[Stephdk]

Hi All,

We have 2 beautiful ducks we inherited from a college aged family member who had no idea what he was getting into when he took them in as hatchlings. He raised them indoors and they are fantastic with him but he lived in a small studio apartment on campus and was at risk of being evicted for violating his lease so we agreed to take them in temporarily until we could find a new home. They are now what we assume to be full grown at 3.5 months and healthy, living in a temporary outdoor pen/heated house my husband built. We are completely inexperienced with any type of feathered friend needs or care so believe these lovelies should be with someone who understands their needs and has the lifestyle to meet them. If there is anyone able and willing to adopt or advise us on where to look for a safe re-homing option, I would greatly appreciate it!

Do you know the sex? I am looking to add to my flock but only females at this time...

I really have no idea how to determine this but per google I think they may both be female. Here's a link to a Google drive with a couple of videos

Yes I think you are right. They both sound like females. Do you have a date you need to get rid of them by?
