Abe is more submissive than his brothers.
George

Earl is the alpha male of the brothers!
Lamotte (aka Sherman)
White Pekin. Unknown age. Was dumped in late February/early March at Alondra Park Lake, with an open wound on his breastbone.
He was clearly well fed and loved prior to being abandoned. Lamotte is a good weight, very clean, super friendly!
He is now fully recovered and available for adoption.
Antonio
** Courtesy Post: This duck is not located at Bear Ridge Ranch Rescue, but we are listing him for the owner**
Antonio is a male white Pekin who was rescued from Chollas Lake last year. He has been living with a family who has another drake, but he is 11 years old and not active enough for Antonio!
If interested in Antonio, please contact us via email or phone. We will put you in contact with Antonio’s owner.
Don and Gerry
These two boys will be a year old in late summer. We think they were born in July-August of 2021.
We believe them to be male Welsh Harlequins.
They are very sweet and gorgeous!
They can be adopted together or separated. They get along very well with each other, but also will go off independently during the day.
