How do I catch a duck someone dumped

[Farmgirl283420]

I have the duck! Now what? LOL I was able to grab it. It's starving. It literally jumped in my lap feeding it some bread.

I have it where I kept my chickens so it's safe but very thin.

I can get some food tomorrow. I have corn, cornmeal and peas cooked into a mash but it's scared now. And a big pan of fresh water.

I'm not good at posting things and navigating this website and where we live I don't think there are any rescues.

Anyone have suggestions I'm listening. It can stay a while. I think it needs more help now then I can give it.

Thank you everyone

Yay! So glad you got him/her!!! I hope you can nurse this duck back to health!

Washington, Beaufort County. Eastern coast so not close to Charlotte. I assume drake since it was dumped. I have no experience with ducks. How do I tell sex?
I'm trying to post something.

That link I gave you will give you an idea it has drake and duck voice on it. Too far away from me but hopefully if you can tell what sex that will help rehome.

Contact your local Agriculture Extension Office - There's one in the Beaufort County Center that deals with 4H. If they can't help you find a foster, they can at least direct you to someone who can give you advice on how to care for your little refugee.

 

[my spoiled chickens]

What is a food that ducks really love? I've never had a duck. Anyone in eastern NC want it if I catch it? I don't even have chickens anymore.

my chickens like cracked corn or frozen peas
