I am now the owner of another 3 ducks 2 Saxony and another Aylesbury.  I took them on after the guy at market refused to let the buyer have them because he overheard a conversation and he was going to use them to train lurchers to kill???  I guess that means let the dogs rip them to pieces.  How can people be so cruel?

He apparently bought some rabbits for the same purpose.  I cannot understand this mentality.

Pure ignorance slowef, you don't need live animals to learn them to kill, anyway, i'm glad you got them, lucky ducks  

[slowef]

No money changed hands, I was asked if I could home them by the market guy who knows me.  He would have taken them but had no carrier to take them on the bus!!! :?

My local vet was taking 2 goat kids (billies) to melton market and stopped off at my local while I was there. Half an hour later I was the nervous owner of both. Husband was not impressed. We used to take them for a walk with our dogs :roll:

Have you got some pictures of the duckies to show us yes slowef.  Are the setteling in OK  

[slowef]

They are still a bit nervous but I will get some soon, they go into hiding when I arrive but I hope to have them eating out of my hands soon like the others.  There is still a bit of argy bargy  but I am sure it will right itself in a week or so.  The Aylesbury is looking the worst, he needs a good swim to clean him up (I have got him a cheap poundland paddling pool just for him to use) but  he is eating ok.

you sound just like me!!! be careful though I got a reputation for doing things like that and ended up with 70 rabbits, 2 chipmunks (which then had 4 babies) 3 ferrets, 10 guinea pigs, 2 dogs 6 cats, an avery full of birds, 3 mice (rescued from a lab), 5 rats,9 hamsters (started of as one "boy" who had 8 babies a week later), 3 gerbils, and 3 terrapins, needless to say, my ex was not impressed at all, although we both became experts at knocking up a cage or hutch in a very short space of time   nearly took a pot-bellied pig but decided I was already married to one!
