Pekin who LOVES People needs a home (Ohio)

[MajorArmyWife]

Hi, I’m looking for help with a pekin duck that was brought to me over the weekend. She is about 4 months old. Her former “owners” moved from their home in the city and when they did, they dug a hole in the backyard, filled it with water and left the duck. A handicapped gentleman has been caring for her, but he was sneaking her into his group home. They finally told him that he could not do this any longer so his sister brought her to me.

My ducks are free-range and curious about her but she is used to a lot of human interaction and she cries all day. I’m gone 13-14 hours a day and she is just so pitiful. I don’t think I can care for her properly. Can you please help or direct me to someone who can?

I really despise people who do things like this. It’s so heartbreaking.

Thank you,

Mari

P.S. I would certainly be willing to trade for a couple of your ducks who need homes but are more suitable for the “group” setting. (I have a 14 acre farm with an acre pond, but my 6 ducks hate the pond so they have a 300 gallon pool instead.)

I don't have a pond but I do have a baby pool that my lonely Peking suck loves, his mate was torn up by a stray, and I have since then fully fenced in th run while I watch him free range otherwise, bye he lives with the chickens

What is your location? A family member has a farm that may be willing to add to their current flock. My SIL bought 6 for her daughter to raise then they took them out there this Spring and let them loose.
