Our Pekin ducks Marshall, Popcorn and Popsicle were all rescued from ponds in the Ohio area. Usually at Easter time lots of baby chicks and ducks are bought for “gifts” or because they’re cute. Once they start to outgrow the box or cage they live in they’re dumped on ponds. They cannot fly. Their only means of escaping predators is the water. And when the ponds freeze they cannot swim away from anything that might cause them harm. We were fortunate enough to be able to rescue these guys and give them a loving home, complete with little swim ponds and a pasture along with the goats.
