We own 720 acres and over 200 head of cattle..
The ducks weak he or she was using its wings trying to pull itself back into the pond. I caught it again and stuck it in a pet carrier and put it in my shop for the night and put some food and water in with it.
My daughter "no pics"
is picking him up in the morning. She has a 10 x 10 enclosed chicken run. She's putting food and water out for it and will turn it loose in that run. If it acts like it can fly I told her to leave the door open and let it go.
I figured if I let it loose tonight around here a turtle in the pond would get it or a coyote.

Man, that’s fantastic having land like that. I wish my head had been screwed on right once I was out of college and had worked toward getting out of the city. I was able to leave a very large Midwestern city and move to a … I don’t know what you’d call it … VERY small city, or pretty large town. But just over a line of low hills to the south of me lies an edge of the northern Indiana Amish/Mennonite country, and being out among farms where the land is fruitful is my dream.
It’s decent of you to look after the duck like that.
And, just to be clear, everything I’ve written in this post is sincere and honest.
It’s the Rant, so … you know.

OK - you might want to quarantine that duck for a while before introducing to chickens. Bird flu is widespread in wild water fowl and not all ducks show clinical signs when infected.
