Newbie to the site as I need help!

I'm the caretaker of 21 rescue ducks, some runners, some Pekins and some I have no idea. I happened on to them at least 5 years ago when asked to "babysit" while a co-worker went out of town. I wasn't happy with their living conditions, shared my concerns with owner, who replied "if you don't like how I care for them, do it yourself". I did at least 3 times a week by using my lunch time & weekends for many years. Once I was in a position to buy property, the first item completed was a 20 x 20 duck pen and a pond. I asked for them, and moved them over 100 miles to their new house. I've had them on property now for almost 2 years. My other pets (cats and dogs for now) are rescue, and/or medically needy animals. No real hobbies currently as my time is spent working 2 jobs to pay for their care and any time-off is used maintaining my property. Hoping to learn via this site on how I can provide a better life for my ducks!
 
Hiya, and welcome to BYC!! :frow Kudos to you for what you did for those ducks! You might peruse our Duck Forum or post any questions you have there as we have a lot of duck folks here to help.

Also, there are many duck articles in the Learning Center.
 
You are definitely my kind of people! Hurray for calling out the neglectful owner and providing a caring home for the ducks.

Kudos to you for your devotion to them and your other rescues!! It's far from inexpensive to care for so many critters, and I admire you for working hard to give them a good home.

This is an amazing community of generous and supportive people. Some years ago, members literally saved the life of one of my ducks when I didn't know how to help her.

Welcome to BYC, and best wishes with your critters.
