Free 3 week Peking yellow duck

My 13 year old daughter has rescued a baby Peking duck from the lake behind our house. I need help finding him a home.We have 2 dogs and a cat and we can not keep him.We have been keeping him in the house in a dog pen but this just isn't right.He needs to be outside.We do take him outside and do give him a bath everyday. We live in Dallas, Ga.Please help,he needs a good home.

Oh I wish i lived farther south, or I would take it. I have a lonely pekin drake who gets along with our other ducklings. The ducklings are going to be pond ducks though. We cant afford shipping.
If you could get him to ohio, I will take him though xD

What I advise, is to only give it a cup of food a day. Pekins grow fast, very very fast. And ducks only eat what you give them. Limiting his food will slow his growing, possibly allowing him to live longer.

I am not sure how to post pictures or I would. I also wished you lived closer because this duckling has got to find a new home.It's hard having 2 dogs and 1 cat and 1 duck and trying to keep them away from each other.

Do you know anybody going to ohio? I suppose that maybe I could use my savings if shipping was an option, but its quite hot.

Yeah, they are the size of a small mallard by 35 days. They are full grown at 2 to 3 months. I would really love the little guy if you can get him here. Or at least to ohio. We can pick him up near the border maybe....

I don't know of anyone who lives or is planning to visit there.how much do you suppose it would cost? I could go in half. I am not sure how or who would ship an animal?

 

[PoultryQueen101]

Yeah, dont even know if our post office accepts live animals. Go in half as in on the price of shipping? Mayb that could work but I would have to ask.
You live approx 542 miles away, so, unless it was express shipping, it might be a few days.

Anything older than a day old must be sent Express. Actually, even day olds not coming from a hatchery (ie private person) must go Express.

You need an approved shipping box (boxesforbirds.com or Horizon) too.

Thanks for the shipping information.
