Hundreds of ducks surrendered by a property owner in Riverside County will be available for adoption on Wednesday.
The relinquishment of 480 ducks stemmed from overcrowding on a property in an unincorporated area of the county, according to the Riverside County Department of Animal Services.
“We cannot provide long-term shelter care for this number of animals, so it’s important we work quickly to find placement with rescues, adopters and organizations willing to assist this week,” RCDAS Assistant Director Dr. Kimberly Youngberg said.
The ducks were tested for zoonotic infectious diseases, all of which came back negative, officials said.
The ducks will be available for adoption beginning at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the campus, located at 581 S. Grand Ave. in San Jacinto. Animals will be adopted on a first-come, first-served basis, and all adoption fees will be waived.

Yum! Put me down for about six.
I’ll settle for confit.
Tastes like chicken?
Any leftovers talk to the Haitians
More like duck, I’d bet.
Y’all are on the page I immediately went to.
Best duck confit I’ve ever had was at a hotel restaurant overlooking the St. Lawrence on the Ile d’Orleans. If you’re ever in that part of the world, go here:
FA RA RA RA RA, FA RA RA RA
Well, I hope some survive the kettle so they can reproduce....
I wouldn’t cook them. They should survive and be happy. And reproduce.
