Y'all. Stop with the ducks. Just STOP BUYING DUCKS YOU DON'T WANT OR NEED. Learn to tell your children NO. Tractor Supply Co. Stop selling ducks to minors! Teenagers don't need to be buying ducks!! What is Metzer Farm doing to help rescues now that they have a brand new Memphis-area facility? I'm not hard to find but I can tell you nobody has reached out to offer me any assistance. This has been one of the worst years ever for dumped ducks. We are 100% out of space and more just keep showing up. We need fosters, we need volunteers, and we need the source of this problem to step up and do something. 👀🫵

From our fosters at Home at Last Farm Sanctuary:

LISTEN, we all went through an awkward stage, mmkay?? That said, these Muscovy ducklings are diamonds in the rough! 💎🐣

These 7 Muscovy ducklings are our fosters available through Soft Landings of Tennessee. They can be transported in the North Alabama or West Tennessee regions.

Muscovies are fabulous animals that make wonderful companions. Their characteristics include…
🦆 Intelligent
🦆 Quieter than other breeds of ducks
🦆 Can bond deeply with caretakers
🦆 Unlike other ducks, they can fly and perch!

So given the above, be sure to keep them in a safe area or consider clipping their wings (painless when done correctly) to prevent them from leaving a safe area.

They must be fed daily (waterfowl pellets and safe treats like mealworms and lettuce) and put up in predator-proof housing at night.

Adopt a pair of these babies today!

Janine the Handi-capable Goose and Mother Goose had a BLAST yesterday at Germantown Farm Park!! 😍 The Germantown firefighters came to read a Mother Goose story for the Fit4Moms kiddos and then we all played in the firehose/actual rain. Janine loves attention and loves the rain but was reminded she doesn’t like actually being wet. 😂

A lot of times people ask me why I do what I do. This right here sums it up. This poor duck is chasing after people in the park because a human being loved it and cared for it and taught it to be a friend. And then walked away and left it behind. If it's chasing strangers, do you think it chased them out of the park? Tried to follow them home? Get in the car? Do you think it watched them drive away and wondered if they were going to get some lettuce treats and come back? Do you think it knew what to do on its own or was able to find a warm place to sleep since it doesn't really have all of its feathers yet? How horrifying for this poor creature who knew nothing but love and then was suddenly alone. If it was a dog or a cat people would be doing something. Instead they're having a picnic with this sweet baby sitting at their feet thinking it's going home again. My heart breaks for every scene in this video because it's played out a thousand times in a thousand Parks all over the United States and very rarely does it end as beautifully as this story does. Please, support what they do. Support what we do. Support small rescues that need your help to continue to help animals like this. And don't dump ducks.

Meet Bob Bean. Bob was abandoned in a park. He doesn't have his big boy quack yet. You can tell he was raised by people. He sits in my lap and watches TV. Bob is mine now. To whoever dumped him, you didn't deserve him.

We are all safe here for those who saw national news and were concerned!! It's muddy but we are fine!
