Ducks Need a Home in Columbus, Ohio

[10ducks]

You know, it really doesn't look like those ducklings are "being kept in horrible conditions." Despite the fact that they have that brown puddle in front of them, they are clean and dry. They must have a clean and dry place to go, and probably a heat lamp or they'd be a complete mess. We all know how quickly any water ducks have access to gets dirty. I'm not saying that people buying and then dumping Easter ducklings isn't horrible. Just that whomever is taking care of them isn't necessarily doing a bad job.

Hi, i hope i'm not too late. I live on 43 acres of property with a beautiful pond. I've been recently looking for ducks to add to my pond!

Here is the verbiage and pictures:

I'll take them if they are still available [email protected]

"My mother-in-law decided to surprise our kids with 4 ducklings for Easter. Then a week later, we ended up with the additional 2 she didn't want in her house. We didn't want them in the beginning, and we want them even less now.

FREE!!!!! 6 ducklings to a good home. Perfect for someone with a large pond or a lake. FREE!!!!!!! 3 are yellow and 3 are brown & black (I would say they are mallards, but not knowing anything about ducks, I wouldn't swear to it)"
