5 x Pecking Ducklings to give away/swap
My daughter scooped up 5 duckings before nature got to them - but none of us really want the burden of bringing them up. I am 99% sure they are Peking ducks from our totally free-range (ie fed daily) "pets". Not sure how old they are, but I'm sure less then a week.
In an ideal world I'd like to swap them all for 1 adult female (ie pullet or older) - or an IOU for one that's not mine- to diversify my gene pool,[ My home has large area, 13 resident Pekings, lots of food available, and a large pond as well]. If you don't have any ducks, reach out to me anyway - I'm OK to give them away as well. If you want them to go in a pot, please look elsewhere.
I'm in Dairy Flat.
Ideally call me on 021-889-809, otherwise send me an email - ducklings@my.host.net.nz to arrange something.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
