what should we do about our ducks??
Hey everyone. I know some of you have ducks and right now we are kinda having to decide whether we are going to keep our ducks or not. If you read this then I'd appreciate your opinions about what you would do if it were you and your ducks in this situation.
OK, we are moving in about a month (we have to!!) and we are actually building onto my grandparent's house and just making it a lot bigger because my mom doesn't want to move far away from them cause she has to already right now help my grandma w/cooking and washing clothes and things like cleaning the house and keeping the groceries bought for them. So when we move everyone agreed that building onto their house would be the best thing.
Here is the problem--they live right near some woods and their neighbor use to have 20 something goats but they were all killed by coyotes. so when we move it's kinda like we're risking their lives ina way---know what I mean?? My grandpa's friend said she would take all 17 of our ducks. She already has some ducks and she has a nice pond in her yard for them too.....I know they would be taken care of fo r sure and fed---it's just hard cause we love our ducks. i know some of you that have/had ducks understand where I am coming from...
another hard thing is that I would miss my muscovy girl Diego like crazy--she's the daughter of my very first duck who passed away in '06.
but I just don't want to risk carrying her to the new house when we move and some coyotes killing them...and there are so many of those around here you can just here them howling all the time. so what should I do?? I would be able to go see them awhenever I wanted to. but i am going to miss them and especially Diego..... so do you think the right thing would be t o let her have them???? that way I would know they would be safer.. I just couldn't ever forgive myself if I decided to keep them and then something killed them...what would you do?????? :confused:
