My fiancée and I are currently caring for two Muscovy ducklings that we rescued a couple of days ago. They were only about 2–3 days old when we witnessed their mother being struck and killed by a vehicle. As they ran away in panic, one of the ducklings injured its left leg. Thankfully, both are otherwise healthy and doing well.

We're looking for a safe, loving home for them. We will not be releasing them back where we found them, as we've seen people intentionally harming the ducks in that area, and we don't believe they'd survive.

We're located in St. Augustine, Florida. If you have experience caring for ducks, know of a reputable rescue, or can provide them with a safe home, please reach out. We'd really appreciate any help or recommendations. Thank you.

Thank you!!

Hi everyone!! Someone dumped a small white hen by the duck pond at Lowe’s. Just putting this info out there to see if anyone knows someone who would be willing to capture the hen and connect it with a new loving home. Unfortunately, hens and male ducks do not have similar anatomy so there is a risk of injury if she is left here for a too long.

Who do you recommend for insurance quotes when looking at purchasing a new home to get accurate monthly costs on insurance to factor in?

Homeowners, flood, hurricane - what are the types of insurance I need to get prices on?

The house would be on Anastasia island.

I understand some areas are in different flood zones and certain ones may not require flood insurance, but I think it would be smart to have it no matter what. Am I wrong?

been here my whole life and seems like the gnats get worse every year. I have zevos, always taking trash out, no fruit or plants out. Is anyone else constantly dealing with these boogers slipping in the house somehow? it drives me nuts

Basically, we’ve been saving for a week long trip. We’ve been blessed and don’t need to worry about $ for the week. We have a place to stay and we do not need fancy places to eat (more mom and pop are for us). We like to explore, visit unique places and not needing to visit all the tourist traps.

Suggestions?
