Emergency! Duck adoption ended up rescue!

[Mama Runner]

I am honestly not sure what some of them are. I have to admit I did almost a year of research on Indian Runners before I got my 6. Then had to cram when two of them ended up to be Pekins. There are some that look like mallards but are all blackish. The vet said the name but I am so overwhelmed and tired I really only paid attention to how I need to care for all of them. Unfortunately we had to put 22 down, and I feel horrible and have been beating myself up over it, and have a horrible case of the what ifs.

That's really too bad. How many ducks do you have now?

 

[Miss Lydia]

So sorry some had to be put down. Was it from malnutrition? I think these people need to be reported.

Is the vet working with you?

 

[Mama Runner]

97 Ducks, including my original 6. The Animal control officer brought the rest of the animals as well so. Here we go!

5 Turkeys including my original 2.
My neighbor took the 18 chickens.
3 mini horses another neighbor came and got them just now.

We are waiting for the animals that Animal control said we're to weak to make the journey and are hoping that they make it. My husband and I told them we would be happy to take everyone.

Yes, I grew up down here and moved back home to the area in January. She is not taking any money from us. She said she would work with the animal control people there in TN. Our local Tractor Supply brought several bags of feed and electrolytes. Along with feed and water containers. The Ducks have their own 5,000 gallon pool. Ok ya spoiled but I love them and they work hard eating bugs, so it's their treat. But the new Ducks don't get to use it quite yet because I am worried that they don't swim well enough. I would not have been able to do this without their help of neijbors and friends

Your kindness and generosity to these animals in need is enormous and overwhelmingly amazing!!! Not many people could do what you've done, giving them a chance at a healthy life or a merciful release from their suffering.

 

[Mama Runner]

Not spoiled at all

It's really not a big deal to me. I have been in the Military for 26 years. They are more of a blessing to me than I can ever be to them.
