Leg ring for duck wanted
Would anyone be able to supply me with one leg ring for a while Pekin duck. None of the pet shops sell them now and I only want one not ten in a packet.
It is for a duck called Ivor. He is the only surviving ducking out of 22, what with eels, cats and disease taking their toll.
Ivor the survivor, is now nearly as big as his mother.
With four white ducks I will soon be having trouble knowing who is who.
He has an idyllic life swimming and duck diving in my stream, and comes up for a meal when he feels a bit peckish, always with Mum. Bit of a spoilt only child.
Happy to pay and pickup.
