Rescue duck. Please help

[Labrat2727]

I have been feeding him non medicated starter with some mash starter mixed with water. He seem to take to it well and has been so much better since we took him in. The wing is an old injury from what we can see. He seems to adapt to his situation and despite the occasional tumble, he seems healthy. He loves to be with people and follows us around wanting to be picked up. As I'm typing this, he's sleeping in my other hand comfortably nestled in. This poor guy needs a chance and I'd like nothing better then to see him go to a good home. Once I go to work it will be difficult so I have one week to find him a home.

Hilarilus! I thought he was dead but he was just sleeping. Grumpy I woke him up to check

He sleeps a lot. Loves to be held so he can sleep. I don't know much about ducks. It surprise how he adapt to people quickly without much fear. He pecks at my feet when I put him down to explore surrounding. Funny little guy. Or girl

If you look at the coloring, he looks more like the mallard. He doesn't have the foot of the wood duck.

Oh......then he is probably a mallard......are there mallards near where u found him? or wood ducks?

I've never seen a wood duck in LA but I have seen mallards once in a while
