Duck owners in Colorado

[snyderg08]

I have 2 ducks that we rescued from the humane society here. We were hoping that at least one of them turned out to be a female but it looks like they are both male. (The whole point was to have eggs) We are now looking at getting a sexed pair of females next spring however we can't keep the males too. Are there any duck mommies out there who would like this pair of males? They are bonded and will need to go and stay together. They have never seen another duck but they love our 2 Labradors. Super friendly and will even play with my 2 year old. One is a Peking and one looks just like him but with a poof on his head. Hence the names Ping and Poof.

Hmm think you are probably a bit too far from me. If you are ever coming up north more I might be interested in taking them though.

We also keep ducks in the springs. Can't take yours, unfortunately (we're all full on birds) but if you ever need advice/help or a temporary place to keep them just shout.

I don't have room for your boys, I'm sorry. But if your looking for some ladies, I have two Khaki Campbells that are looking for a new home. They are both laying eggs, if you're interested. I just have too many ducks and would like to reduce slightly, these two are not a breed that I am actually interested in.

I don't know much about Khaki Campbells. We live in town and have 6' fences. My Pekings can't fly so that works out great. Is it the same with Khaki Campbells? Also I need a docile breed as I have a 2 year old who loves to play with them and 2 Labradors. My dogs love the ducks as much as the ducks love them. So I am not worried about a prey instinct.

Naa, the khakis are too fat and happy to fly. They don't mind padding across the street, though, if I don't keep an eye on them.

I think pekin is a great breed for kids. One of the friendlier ones if I recall. Khakis are not so much, but they're still fine with my kids. I mean... what's a duck going to do? Peck you to death? Lol.
These are too dependent on us for frozen peas, anyway.
