Jocamo is a Pekin drake who was dropped off in a small and muddy
swamp. Six days after being abandoned, rescuers found it easy to lure him up for
food and said he even seemed happy to go into the large pet carrier they had
waiting for him. Upon his arrival, we also noticed that he prefers to spend a
lot of time in his duck house rather than walking around his pen.
The fact that Jocamo feels so comfortable in small spaces combined with
the terrible state of his feathers tell us that someone bought him as a duckling
and housed him in a dog crate. It's likely that as soon as his family grew tired
of cleaning up the mess, they dumped him off and abandoned him.
Early signs say that Jocamo is a human-imprinted duck and that he will be a
friendly guy once he settles in and realizes he's safe. We have noticed that
although he isn't crazy about being caught, once held, he settles right into our
arms.
