Pekin ducks in San Diego, CA

[Duckmom1980]

I have a Male & female Pekin Duck that need a home together. They have been with me since after last Easter when they were dumped at the vet clinic I worked at. They just turned one and the female has laid a huge egg everyday since September. I don't want money for them just a suitable place to live. They are out in the yard all day here and have a kiddie pool & small pond they love. Please contact me if interested.

What kind of housing do ducks require?? We have chickens and I have been wondering about ducks but an unsure of what they need as far as protection from predators and such.

 

[Duckmom1980]

They are free all day long and go into an enclosure at night. They also need a water source for swimming. They are a commitment. I rescued a duck from my job. Somebody did a dump off after Easter last year. They are really sweet but need a large area to live. Tracy

Similar to chickens. I will chat with the hubby. A kiddie pool is acceptable swimming material?? As far as enclosure what do they need? I assume they don't roost? We have an empty coop right now, but I don't think it would serve ducks very well.

Kiddie pool is fine. They do need to be in a seperate area from your chickens. Ducks are bullies!

Mekeni12 - are you still looking for pekings? I have two girls and a boy I'm looking to rehome ASAP.

Yes, their job would be to eat snails in a fenced orchard.
