I'm just updating this to say that the duckies went to their new home today...
Thank heaven the ducks are gone!!! lol I took them up to a friends about 3:30 and he took them right up to his barn. His wife was on her way home with 2 Rouen ducks they are adopting from a wildlife rescue so the heat lamp was on in the barn and everything was ready. I'm glad they are gone, they were really cute and would probably be easy to get attached to but OMG do they POOP a LOT! lol
I think I am going to need HELP!
We got a call about a duck at the local PSU campus who seemed to be injured. It appears that someone dropped 2 of them off back around the beginning of Sept. 1 of them seems to be doing ok but this one appears to be at least slightly injured and just doesn't seem to be adapting well to the outdoor life. There are lots of ducks at the campus and they get fed well but this little one is just not doing great.
Tonight my DH, his daughter and ex-wife managed to get her but not her "friend". Our daughter goes to school at the campus and her Mom works there so they have been watching this duck since it got cold. We may have the other one by morning.
I haven't really checked her over closely yet. I thought I'd let her settle for the night. She is in a dog crate in the basement bathroom. lol
I have no duck experience at all. What is she???Is she a she? A Call of some kind?
I gave her water and some food. She doesn't have to have a place to swim right a way does she? They said the almost never saw her in the water.
I think we are going to need to find a place for her where she has some shelter from the cold weather.
Anyone near Altoona Pa. need a dick or 2? She (?) is cute
