We've had two ducks, a khaki campbell female and a swedish blue male, for about five years, but recently the female went missing and we fear she was carried off by a predator. The male seems pretty lonely, and I think it's especially important that he has some sort of companionship with winter approaching. We're considering finding him a new home entirely, and I'm also open to getting him a new companion if it won't put either duck in danger and we can somehow find an adult female reasonably close to where we live. Will he be able to bond with a new duck(s) now that he's well into his adulthood? Is there anything we can do to help him do so? Do you guys have any experience with duck adoption (whether that's adopting a duck or giving one up for adoption)? Just any general advise on this predicament? Thanks a lot.
Where are you located? I've added 2 ducks that I found on Craigslist. If you love your male and want to keep him, shouldn't be too hard to find another duck his age. If you go that route, then you can introduce them slowly over a few days - but if he's lonely, he should welcome the new girl friend! Hopefully you've secured your house/run so predators won't be an issue again.
