NHS Animal Control has advice for you and your domesticated duck
Tractor Supply and other smaller farm-feed-and-grain-type stores get animals periodically throughout the year. Bunnies can be found there for sale around Easter. Ducks and chicks can be found there around that same time. People buy them because they’re cute, raise them until they are too messy or too loud or neighbors complain about a smell, then the animals have to go somewhere.
Lately, the Nebraska Humane Society and Wildlife Rehab have been doing a number of duck rescues. These are domesticated ducks that have been released at any old pond or lake, have trouble finding food, and experience much difficulty adjusting to “the wild.”
The Nebraska Humane Society’s Animal control division has some advice for duck owners. If you have a domesticated duck, please don’t release him or her at an area pond or lake. Once domesticated, these animals rely on their owners for food, and releasing ducks, especially in the winter months, when waters freeze over leaves these birds with no resources. Without people to feed them, they can easily starve.
