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.
Changing the conversation around dementia
Reducing stigma starts with the words we use, and shifting the way we talk about dementia is a powerful step forward. This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.

This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.
