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.

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
