Very difficult to rehome drakes: much easier to acquire two female ducks for him.
I rescue and rehome ducks -- almost all drakes and finding new homes is nigh on impossible. You might try Craig's list -- but you will have to be careful that your boy is going to a duck keeper and not a cooking pot. There are some local groups on Facebook that you might be able to advertise on -- again be careful to stress he is a pet duck needing rehoming.

Does your local Branch of the ASPCA or you local Chapter of the Humane Society arrange adoptions? Some do and could be helpful.

Finally, do advertise on BYC on your State forum:

That’s what I am noticing! Thanks so much for all of your advice. I have found a couple of Facebook groups that offer rehoming help, but looks like the best thing may be getting a couple of females for him. Thanks again!!
