so i went to the auction today despite the rain and they had 2 muscovy drakes in a dog crate and baby ducklings out in thcold with no lamp or warmth. the poor ducklings were all huddled together. i am going to call the spca on them. that's so sad

i would have bought the drakes if i was allowed to have a big flock, but i am only allowed 2 ducks.

[cracking up]

i wish you could have come bleenie it was sad. those poor ducks. i hope they are able to run around. they looked like they weren't starving though

cracking up it's in ontario/chino california. i am not sure where you are from.

i wish my parents would let me have endless ducks. as duckyfromoz knows i'd have all the animals i could if i was allowed. and i think we kinda agreed that i am not allowed to live alone lol. those poor babies. i wanted to buy the ducklings soooooooo bad. i have everything they need

except space

At least I only have 1 portacot dwelling duck inside my bedroom!!!! And Regie is so tiny still.

It is sad that people treat ducks - or any creature for that matter like you have seen. I find out here most people that buy my ducks do so as they are so healthy, well cared for, hand raised and tame when I sell at auction. I let interested buyers pick them up and cuddle them too. I get very good prices because people know I look after them well. I could raise 4 times as many and have to sell them for a few dollars each just to get rid of them. But that is not what I am about. I would love for others to experience the joy of owning ducks like I do.

I used to buy ducklings from markets, feed them up, and get them presentable before giving them away to people who had asked me for ducks. But I realised that I was supporting the cruel farmers who continue to sell sick and injured animals. As sad as it is for me to think that on any given Saturday there are 100 or more ducks for sale here in Melbourne that need GOOD homes, I have realised that I cannot save them all.

lol i have 2 full grown muscovies in my room in a port-a-crib

i admire you ducky,

i am going to try the same tactics when i sell ducklings (I DON'T WANT TO SELL THEM I WANT THEM ALL FOR MYSELF!!) and hope they go to good homes!

i wish i could save them all. i am going to call the SPCA on them tomorrow. i keep stressing out about them. the poor babies!
