Those nasty girls love earwigs. We have a ritual where I lift up the Two concrete blocks their wateres sit in so they can eat all the bugs. But it’s been slim pickins lately. Oh and the salmon colored Oak gall wasp eggs that fall off the trees with every breeze.
Have you tried the Facebook pages? You might try CA Rooster Rehoming and the Sacraments Poultry page…we have a bunch of people on that page from Chico/red bluffHey there NorCal peepsIs there anyone in the redding/shasta county area that would be interested in a 12 week olive egger cockerel? I've tried putting him on craigslist, but I'm only getting weirdos replying. He's a real cutie, and isn't aggressive so far.
I know there’s a lady here in Sac that takes unwanted roosters too! Linda Easton-Waller at Gullyrumpus Farms. Good luck!
Didn't even think about using facebook. Thanks for the resources and ideas!Have you tried the Facebook pages? You might try CA Rooster Rehoming and the Sacraments Poultry page…we have a bunch of people on that page from Chico/red bluff
Have you tried Madhatchers.com? I’m not aware of any rescues, but there are a bunch on their page once you sign up. I never receive spam from them, it’s a nice place to look for specific things.
Thanks, Kurby! I'll check it out!Have you tried Madhatchers.com? I’m not aware of any rescues, but there are a bunch on their page once you sign up. I never receive spam from them, it’s a nice place to look for specific things.
Also Bari Farms sells ducklings and may know of other places to look for ducks! If you’re near Sacramento there’s also the Denios Auction every other Sunday in Lincoln! Probably could find some there?
If you want to rescue ducks, I would look around spring and summer. A lot of people buy ducks and have no idea what they are getting into and end up rehoming them. We got one of our ducklings off craigslist that way. Poor thing, I thought she was going to have major deficiency issues because all the college student fed her was strawberries and lettuce. She was soo starved for food and attention. We got her a friend and she talked nearly nonstop for two days.
