Please help - wild baby ducks need a home in Battle Ground, WA

[bgmom]

My neighbor almost mowed them over and so far we have three baby ducks maybe a few days old. Cannot find the nest. A relative has a deadly allergy to duck eggs and I cannot keep them. Not willing to chance a mix-up with my chicken eggs. I am willing to drop them off in or near Battle Ground WA.

If they are a few days old- you may not find the nest nearby - the mother may have already walked a fair distance with her babies. Best thing to do right now- is scan the area for the mother- to see if she is flying around- ( may take a lot of sky watching ) or even simply to put the babies near where they were found and encourage them to be peeping so the mother can return to them if she hears them. The mower may well have have frightened her off completely- but is is still worth a try. they would be much happier being raised by the mother if it is at all possible.

You can also look to see what wildlife carers there are in your area that may be able to take them in.

No sign of mom and they have several cats as do I so unfortunately leaving them out is not an option.

That is why I am looking for local home.

There's a guy here in the area locally that rescues birds. I will PM you his number. If for some reason you can't get a hold of him, I could take them till they "fly the coop" if need be.........

Glad to hear you found them all and found someone experienced to take them.
