Adopting ducklings from the pound

[thumper650]

These little guys, or girls, are available to be adopted. I may be going to check them out this week. Anyone know how old they are? I'm told they are Pekins, like my original drakes. I know they'll have to be seperated from my original boys, and I will need to rehome if they're girls.
They were found as strays, so I'm thinking they're boys. I'm wondering about their age, and does anyone have experience with bonding with older ducklings.

3ishweeks maybe still have tiny little wings. sure hope they work out. Best thing would be for everyone to live so they can see each other then by fall when hormones aren't raging as much as now start letting them be together some with supervision and lots of yummies. It will take a bit of time but should work.

Awesome your able to help them out.

Awww they’re so cute. Yes, about 3 weeks old. I hope they work out for you!

I can’t even imagine them as strays that young. Those poor babies still need heat at night.

I'm just hoping they're not too scared of people!

There’s probably still time to cuddle.

They are going to be scared but with TLC they will be okay. Just take your time with them.

Oh man, the pressure! I agree though. Once I see them, even if super skittish, ill take them.

I was wondering about that. I see a trip to tracror supply in my future!
