Deirdre "Dear
Heart"
Duck
Pekin
Female
7 years
Enjoying Majestic Retirement |
|
|
Deirdre was abandoned on a pond and
became one of our first retired rescues. As one
of our Majestic retirees,
she
had a very important task to perform at our
sanctuary. She is the "Mother Hen" of the
flock and provides consistency to newcomers.
It is important that when newcomers arrive, they
have stable sanctuary members to show them the
ropes. New ducks gain their confidence by
watching and copying veteran ducks maneuver
through our sanctuary's pens and through daily
routines and interactions.
No matter which new rescues come in, or who is
adopted out, these stable members provide the
flock as a whole with a comfortable level of
consistency. This lady befriends every hen who
comes through and does a lot of flirting with
the boys in neighboring pens too.
As Deirdre relaxes into her retirement years, it is important to have some
new help come in to take over her responsibilities.

Avril & Alanis were abandoned on a pond
and discovered there that very same day, which
is great news for them! Both ladies have come to
our shelter to help take over Deirdre's
responsibilities as sanctuary hens.

Young Matthew is one of two fellows who helped
start it all! Matthew arrived at our home as a permanent
resident at only two days old. We raised Matthew and
Jeffrey from ducklings and fawned over them dearly.
Matthew is our alpha drake, fully imprinted and completely gentle and
wonderful... so long as you're a ladyl! Matthew is not so kind around the
drakes. He does get along with his brother Jeffrey, but only seasonally. Still,
even when they aren't getting along brilliantly, they insist on being on
opposite sides of a shared fence where they can visit each other all day.
When the boys were six months old, they begged us for a bigger flock. We
began doing rescues and haven't stopped since!

resident at only two days old. We raised Jeffrey and
Matthew from ducklings and fawned over them dearly.
Jeffrey is our subordinate drake, but don't let that fool you into thinking
he's a softy, not on your life! Jeffrey is a very energetic duck and he is prone
to passionate ankle biting. He doesn't do this to be mean; in fact, it's his way
of saying: I love you!
