I had a horrible situation a few days ago. A neighbor just bought a house this last spring. I guess they hated it here and chose to move back to the state they previous lived and listed their house about a month ago. I was aware they purchased a lot of chickens but didn't know about the ducks. Well anyway, I was driving home and came across 15 or so ducks all on the road. When I got home I called the realtor for the property knowing now no one lives there. She was a ware of the ducks and have been giving them breed. I explained it is against the law to have farm animals roaming and the owners could get fined, also that is called abandonment and this was very serious. She asked if I wanted them. I told her no but gave her a neighbor number who might but also suggested craigslist. I told her I would help her catch them and to call me when she got to the house. Well later that night between the neighbor who agreed to take them and the realtor we caught 10, but two possible three flew off. When catching them a few felt okay but most of them were very thin
I left the realtor extra food to catch the other two possible three hoping she was concern and wanted to achieve this for the sake of their life. Well yesterday I drove by the house and there was two squished ducks right in front of the house. Broke my heart. If I had known she wasn't going to try to catch them I would of went back to catch. They all went for the food as they were starving and it wouldn't of been hard. I just can't believe these original owners to leave their ducks. I guess they rehomed the chickens. I also found a squished rabbit as well which I wonder came from their home as well. Just had to share.
Im taking it to the vet tomorrow to get it examined before putting it in our bunny hutch just in case
