So a year before I got Peep and Nibbler, my daughter had gotten some ducks, planning to keep them in a home made pond in her yard. Two bonded with me. An American black duck, and an Indian runner.
they hated her and loved me. So I raised them and when they got bigger they went with my daughter’s flock.
My daughter and her fiancé didn’t think they could properly care for them so they gave them to a friend of theirs that has a farm and a large pond and a domestic flock of ducks that they have taken in and let free range on their land
Well my daughter goes and visits them once in a while and her and my ducks all remember her and come over and greet her
well she got a call from the friends that took the ducks saying they had seen some predators around, coyotes mostly. And one of the ducks looks like it had a wound on its side. My daughter didn’t think to ask which one.
the wounded one comes and sleeps in a little house they made for it on their back patio. So they are going to get me pictures and asked me, since I have ducks of my own now, would I want to take them in and nurse her back to health. And take the other one too since they are still inseparable
part of me wants to. And I know my flock has been very accepting to new ducks. But if they are happy and if the injured one is healing I don’t want to take them from their home and family, as much as I do miss them.
there they would be with the flock they have known. Here they would probably be safer. But I want them to be happy.
