Fact Sheets to go with Ducks and Ducklings.

I do.. Not only do I provide a fact sheet about the ducks- including who the parents were ( if known ) if they had any issues with hatching- and even give a " duckling apgar " score witch relates to its first 24 hours after hatching, weights at differnet ages, feeds given so far etc- I give a care sheet as well for the future care of the ducks. I also have a web page and specific email adress just for people who have bought my ducks to be able to contact me with questions. Mostly I just get sent updated photos and notes saying how the ducks are fairing at there new homes.

 

I'd include a little note telling people why never to dump domestic ducks at parks and ponds etc.

I'm not at the point where I'm selling too many ducks/ducklings yet, just a few here or there. But I'm really all about educating people on the horrors of dumping ducks.

 

I would of loved to have Duck Health Care links for general health and emergencies. Also the name of vets you may use if the ducks are staying in the area. Of coarse tell everyone about BYC so they can ask away questions if they need help, wish I knew about all this stuff with my first few ducks, they might still be alive if I had the help everyone gave me on here-it saved the other 2 ducks life's for sure. I found this site after searching for info on what was going wrong and havent left here since. Now I barely have any trouble and even hatch Call Ducks from shipped eggs and get pretty decent hatch rates-love all the people on here!
I have always offered to take back any animal that I have given, adopted or sold to anyone-so that is a great thing to offer. I dont like to bring things into this world without giving it the best chance for a happy life

 

i would but i dont sell my ducks i do with some other of my birds though

 

Quote:This is what I was going to say. I do tell people not to release ducks if they are no longer wanted. I let them know they can always bring them back to me for proper rehoming.
