Need advice regarding two ducks that id taken from deplorable conditions.

[Misteranthropic]

I recently acquired two ducks one is seemingly grown the other is still a duckling and they were being kept in a row home in the city or rather under the home in the crawl space with insulation hanging down and a stagnant kidding pool in the yard. Needless to say I took the ducks from that place and although I have probably an eighth of an acre or something it's not big enough for ducks and I simply dont have the time to care for these imprinted ducks. Through a family member I know somebody who's willing to take them to a farm of 11 acres but the large duck is so imprinted I'm not sure it would fare well or what the case would be or how to transition it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

The large duck is imprinted on you? is it also imprinted on the younger duckling? What breed? Are there other ducks at the place that has the 11 acres?

Where are you? City and state please.

It may be best for them to join a back garden set up with pet ducks rather than a more impersonal farm flock. You can advertise on Backyard Chickens there are state threads. As you say they were in a crawl space, I doubt that you are near me in Florida!
