Baby PET Duckling Needs A Home


I am a super cute baby ducky. I am about 4-5 days old and I'm half-pekin, half-something else.



Do you like my toupe? I think they are all the rage for spring. My foster mom thinks I'm a boy because I'm BIG and she also thinks I look like her duck Kozmo Kirby.



If you're within 240 miles of Seattle, WA, won't you consider giving me a forever home? I'm going to nap now. Hope to see you soon!

email: mrflapper@aol.com for more information

NOTE: This baby duckling walked up to 3 college-aged kids in a city park and sat down next to them. He is imprinted on humans and afraid of the image of himself in a mirror. He was likely dumped at the park by someone who believed a baby duckling can survive on its own in the wild. (WRONG). This domestic cross-breed duckling is looking for a forever home. He would make an awesome PET duck, since he's imprinted. He is super friendly and doesn't even think to run when you reach to pick him up.

Quacks,

Tiff

Awwwww .. what a darling and sweet duckling! I sure hope s/he finds a great home, Tiff. I've got two dozen equally cute, darling, and sweet here looking for homes (ducklings that is).

Hi Tiff,

It never ceases to amaze me, how someone can just leave a little vulnerable duckling alone, in a park to fend for itself. I'm glad the duckling found its way to you.

He is such a doll, and I'm certainly sending good thoughts he finds a forever home.

Yikes, Terry! That's quite a handful. I don't know how you do what you do. I can barely keep tabs on my own feathered and furry friends, let alone take in ONE stray to foster. Thank goodness for people like you.

What an adorable Mule duckling(ScovieXPekin), he's got a big beak on him so it surely is a boy, and he is gonna be big!!!
I wonder how people can sleep at night knowing they left a poor lil baby outside, unprotected and alone. Sure ducklings are self sufficient and don't need heat after they are a week old, but they are very defensless without a mom......
I already can't sleep if I feel I forgot to put my 3 ducklings in the coop at night(they sleep in front of the hole but wont go in, same with ALL the young chickens they share the pen with......). I end up going out at 1 or 2 in the morning checking if I really forgot them.(of course they were all in and I felt like an idiot, teenager with really bad memory isn't a good thing...).
Anywho, if I lived closer(and in the US for that matter) I would so take the lil guy to join my 3 SwedishXScovie ducklings.
I hope you'll find a nice home for him.

ADOPTED: Chewy Foster Duck


UPDATE: This duckling was adopted.

Adopted by me. (Can you see "sucker" written on my forehead?)

The longer I kept it the more attached I got, and the less acceptable any potential homes became.

So please help me welcome Chewy Foster Duck to the Flapper family.

NAME: Chewy Foster Duck
HATCH DAY: ~April 26, 2007
ADOPTION DAY: May 7, 2007
HOME: Flapper's House

If he grows up to be a girl, I have an alternate home arranged, since a girl will be too loud for my house/neighbors.

Quacks,

Tiff

Tiff, good for you. You're not a sucker - just a good, caring person. Looking forward to Chewy's adventures with Mr. Flapper and the gang.

If it indeed is a mule duck, if it is a hen it should be pretty quiet, since scovies only hiss(and squeal occasionally).
