I just think because the children do not know what they are doing and whoever is supervising them either isnt supervising or does not know how to care for ducklings either so if they were supposed to be my ducks and they got sick because of poor care decisions I would want to take them immediately before anything else happens . Its going to take weeks for them to get their waterproofing oils back into their feathers and in the meantime if they get wet and chilled they can die. If and when you do take them you cant even leave the out in the rain until they are waterproof again.Why now? They won’t do it any more. Thanks
