1 Little, 2 Little ... 10 Little Ducklings Rescued In Manchester

MANCHESTER, NJ -- A mother duck was successfully reunited with her babies Friday morning after they fell into a sewage drain in Manchester, the township said.

In a post on Facebook, the township praised Raymond Sloan, Harry Wright, and James Mohn, employees of the township's public works department, who scooped the 10 babies out of the drain with a fishing net.

Manchester Township police were called about the ducklings, which had fallen into the drain on Cabin Brook Crescent, and they and the public works crew successfully rescued the babies and reunited them with their mother, the post said.

"Great job by our Department of Public Works crew as they helped to reunite a mother duck with her ducklings!" the Facebook post said. "Thank you Raymond Sloan, Harry Wright, and James Mohn for bringing this duck family back together."
