Hello just wanted to say thanks

Hi, I enjoy reading all of the posts about people's experiences with their chickens, ducks and geese.

I acquired my duck at a golf course where my son was playing. I was outside having a smoke when a slightly intoxicated woman handed a tiny duckling to an employee in a golf cart. She said she found it in the parking lot.... the young fellow that was holding the duck was looking very helpless so I walked over and asked him if he needed some help. I put the little bird into my coat and we went driving around looking for ducks.

Thanks everyone I would have to say that if anyone asked me last year if I would ever have a duck, I would have said they were crazy... lol

On my way home with little duck, I googled what to feed her and what to expect. I didn't know however that ducks imprint so strongly. I was going to take to a rehab place on the monday (found on the saturday) but alas it was too late. I was it's Mom I absoluetly LOVE this duck.

I am also allowed to have up to 30 ducks in my Municipality so all is good there. I live on Three acres out of town. Ducks siblings consist of my Children (ages 14 and 13 years) three dogs, three cats and 4 horses. All co-exist beautifully!!!

My vet (not avian) has met Lucy and is willing to treat her if needed. The Avian vet will take her away because she is a "wild Mallard" and it is illegal for me to "own" her. I don't own my duck. She lives with us and has all the freedom in the world. She is never confined (at night she sleeps in the house) and flies around as she pleases.
