2019 Spring Ducklings are here!

[Miss Lydia]

I think your doing what’s best for Forest. That is way too many ducklings for her. Don’t feel like a traitor you have made the right decision I think.

Update on Forest: I caved in and PM'ed @WVduckchick, maybe she knows somebody around here who is willing to take her.
She is still active and gaining weight, she went from 40 grams on Wednesday to 74 grams today.
But i had to rescue her last night the pile of ducklings - they just used her as a mattress… And twice today, first she was boxed in behind the waterer by the others and the second time she (was?) rolled over and could not get back up.
I keep her as long as i can, but in the long run she won't stand a chance against 14 others…
I feel like a traitor!

Don’t feel like a traitor! Situations are different for everyone, we have to do what fits our own situation, even if we don’t like sometimes. Totally understandable with your work schedule, no one can fault you for that. I don’t have the ability to take care of him/her myself either, but I’ll see if we can find someone to help.

I believe @CrystaBub is interested too.

If you lived where you used to live, we would take her. My wife works from home. We are a hundred miles from Houston. With the luck you have had recently, I would not waste my money on lottery tickets. It will all turn around and you will have good luck again. I think you are doing what is best for Forrest .

Besides their being so cute, the best part about brooding is how fast they grow. Like you said the other day, Forrest does not know ducklings are supposed to have two legs.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Your right no telling what Forest could do if she didn’t have 14 ducklings bowling her over!

 

[CrystaBub]

I will definitely take her if you really want to rehome her!

 

[WannaBeHillBilly]

I will definitely take her if you really want to rehome her!

And i would definitely bring her to you - and meet Abby, Dabby, Gabby and Jabby! - but you live 4½ hours away from me. That's a long time for a hungry, thirsty and afraid duckling!
@WVduckchick has found a new home for her just 40 Minutes away. (Thank you!!!)

All of you: Thank you sooo much for your support!

 

[WVduckchick]

I’m so sorry @CrystaBub! I didn’t realize you were even that close. If you can make arrangements to get the duckling, I’m sure my friend would understand!

Ok that is great news - I'm glad she's going to get away from all the others - I think it will help her to heal or learn to deal with her duckability!
