Hi there,
We inherited ducks from the previous owner of our home. There are 2, we are considering rehoming them as we just don't have time to change the water out of thier small pond ever 3 days and we worry about our well. The ponds only filtration is a pump that empties the water via a waterfall then we have to refill the water. If we had an easer filtration system we might keep them. Also we are having snake (Dog has been bitten by a copperhead 2 times in 2 years) issues though so we might need to get rid of the water and their eggs as well. We have a coworker with a nice big natural pond, a male duck and some geese who has offered to take our duck. I think the girls will be happier as the can hopefully lay eggs rather than me just taking them. Does anyone have experience with freeing pet ducks? My biggest worry is the wont be able to forrage for food as well.
Thanks for any opinions and ideas!
