As some of you may know, we've ended up with (been landed with) 2 Khaki Campbell ducklings (currently 5 and a bit weeks old).
They were hatched by a nursery/pre-school who wanted their charges to experience the wonders of life etc, but of course, don't want full grown ducks wandering around
We got landed with them because we already have ducks, and everyone thinks that this is then OK.
Problem is, we've got enough ducks, thanks!! We have 4 Khaki's already and 2 Runner ducks, who are all over 18 months old (plus the 21 hens/cockerels).
These ducklings are too little to go in with our other ducks, and we have no room for them in reality. They're currently still under heat in the garage, but will be ready soon to go outside. We've got nowhere seperate to house them, and haven't the room/resources to build a completely seperate pen with room for a little pond etc.
I've put up some signs in local shops (including the agricultural supplies shop), on the Small Ads at work and on a poultry specific forum; but haven't had much interest.
I'm really starting to worry about what we'll do with these babies if we can't find them a good home somewhere. Any suggestions as to how else I can 'advertise' them etc?
