SPCA Says Flock Of Abandoned Ducklings Need New Homes In Metro Vancouver

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 Nov, 2016 11:55 AM
    ALDERGROVE, B.C. — A mystery involving nearly 200 ducklings is unfolding in the community of Aldergrove, B.C.
     
    The young ducks were found in several crates along the side of a road about 60 kilometres southeast of Vancouver.
     
    The birds, estimated to be about two weeks old when they were found on Nov. 11, are thriving at a nearby foster farm.
     
    B.C. SPCA officials say it's unclear whether the ducklings were dumped or if the crates fell from a vehicle.
     
    An owner has not come forward.
     
    The SPCA is now searching for farms that could offer homes to some or all of the 194 ducklings.
