A sanctuary would be safer than Craig’s list. Sorry @SolarDuck but I am very Leary of Craig’s list.

I am also. I mean, he's a large Pekin duck.. Im sure lots of people would like a free dinner.. Thats why I posted here first. Then called sanctuaries.

That’s what I was thinking too free dinner and that isn’t what you want for him. Please keep us update

 

[Dannimorgue]

Seems like you found a home for him! That's awesome! I hope it works out well!

We will see. I hope I find someone soon. I even posted in the FL forum aswell to help the chances. Like houses, the deal is never done until they hand you the keys.

X2 also try the sanctuaries as another source.

I have, I wanted to find a home home before setting him loose on "sanctuary land" where predators could get him. He doesn't fly.

I'm actually looking for a male Pekin and would love to give him an amazing home but unfortunately I'm from Michigan

I'm with @SolarDuck on considering using Craigslist to find a family for your duck. I also completely understand the reservations @Miss Lydia has. People do pose as families looking for pets and then sadly use that pet for a meal.

It can also work out beautifully. For example, I found my 3 adopted rescue ducks on Craigslist. Another person found them abandoned on a pond. She came to my home, twice. Once to meet me and inspect my house and my property. The other time to bring me my new ducks. She had criteria I had to meet before she would give me the ducks, like a predator proof run, coop, and pond on the property. My Craigslist ducks have had a happily ever after. I am fully committed to them and their well being.

If you say that you are going to charge more for the duck than they could buy meat for, that can protect the animal. You can then donate that money to an animal rescue group. Or give that money to their vet to prepay part of their first appointment. I've done both.

It would also be a good idea to make a post on your local Craigslist in the pets section if you haven't already, a lot more people near you will see that

Hopefully it works out with @Ascholten !
Too true. Good luck! I hope he goes to a great home.

I Dm'd him asking if he has room. he has a lot of ducks, chickens, guinea's quails, pigs, rabbits... all kinds of critters. If all goes well I can get the duck today,, or more likely tomorrow.

What is the ducks general disposition with people? If he's a bit snotty that's ok, Ive slapped the crap out a few of scotty's roosters before so ornery birds won't be a deal killer, but in general how is he with people / other ducks / animals so I can tell him what to expect, so he knows where / with who to put the duck with?
Thanks
