Baby duckling needing a home
Hi neighbour's,
I am currently raising a new born mallard, about 2 weeks old. We rescued 5 of them that were just wandering down a road with no mama to be found, sadly only 1 survived. He is quite strong and is eating, drinking and seems healthy enough.
I am looking for someone with a homestead / already has backyard ducks or has experience to take him in.. he needs to be kept warm and fed appropriate duckling food.
I don't have the space or facilities to keep raising him as he grows. He needs special care whilst still young and as he has no mum he won't be waterproof for a long time yet.
If anyone knows of someone experienced in caring for little duckies and has the facilities to raise him please reach out.
My contact number is 0204 134 8842
Thank you 🙏

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
