Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[Sally Sunshine]

Last night was fairly interesting.

I had a biology exam last night, so I left for school an hour early to study. When I pulled into the college parking lot, there was a black and white duck sitting at the entrance. She wouldn't move for my car, so I got out, grabbed her, and brought her inside. If I wouldn't have grabbed her, she would have been either hit by a car or she'd end up starving and dehydrated since everything is frozen.

She's small, but she's a bit bigger than a call duck. She has the pattern of an ancona duck.

She was extremely thirsty and hungry. Throughout the entire 4 hours that I was in class, she didn't poop. She seems somewhat tame. I'm not sure what to do. I'm thinking about hanging up flyers titled "Found Duck", but I'm not sure. What would a domesticated duck be doing in the middle of a large town?

Did she fly away from someone's back yard?
Did she attempt to migrate?
Was she dumped?

interesting!! How funny it was you to find this lovey girl! what u gonna name her?

I'm trying not to name her because of the small chance that there is someone looking for her.

But I've been thinking that she should be named Faith.

Here's some pictures:

She looks like a big call duck, her bill is rounded like a call. She is very beautiful. I don't like ducks much but I would have taken her home also

Sally, I have to say that whenever I'm having a crazy day and I am feeling like I can't slow down, I come on this thread and read your posts and a smile starts to creep across my face and that knot in my stomach releases and I feel so much better. You're such a tonic.

That is a beautiful duck. Definitely a call with that bill, but the colors are stunning. If you put up a poster, might I suggest that you NOT put her picture on it. That way you can ask any callers to describe what she looks like. You never know what kind of people are out there, someone might just call in a bogus claim in order to get a free duck or worse- a free duck dinner. Could she be a he? Those legs are awfully bright orange. This would be the time of year where some drakes would lose their curly drake feather, but I am a scovy person, I don't know much about quacky ducks.

Oz, how is everyone on your farm? I have been hearing all of these disturbing things on NPR and I can't stop thinking of you and your family and your water buffalo.

I don't know a lot about that area, but I would imagine that there are a number of people who rely on their poultry flocks to feed their families and that a lot of those people in your area might have lost their entire flock. I don't have money for aid, but if you know of anyone who could use some hatching eggs to boost their flock, let me know and I will send you a few dozen from birds that do well in the heat.
