The vision of The Duck Refuge @ Misty Meadow Farm is to save domestic waterfowl from starvation, predator attacks, and suffering. Domestic waterfowl are bred to be heavier than their wild counterparts, which means they are unable to fly. Mission:
Rescue abandoned and/or injured domestic ducks and geese from local ponds. Rehabilitate when needed. Rehome on an individual basis
Today we are celebrating the life of Miss Vickie, aka Vickie the Chickie!
Last Easter a few children absconded Vickie from their grandparents poultry farm.
She is now five month old and while her peers are being sent off for processing, Miss Vickie is still living the good life.
She is, however, substantially larger than the other chickens her age. They are mostly heritage breeds, and she’s a commercially bred chicken.
Cheers to Vickie!
Some snapshots of life on the refuge.
Not my photo, but very funny
Hey there, fellow farm enthusiasts! I realize this might be a bit of a stretch, but anyone interested in a gorgeous young rooster? Our three cockerels here were hatched from a Buttercup dad and an Easter Egger mom. We've got a chipmunk theme goin' on - Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. Those cheeks, am I right? Let me know if you're ready to give one of these little dudes a new home on your farm. They are all very friendly.
This is our first season with Muscovy Ducks, so looking up and seeing a duck staring at you from the roof is still a shock.
Meet Hot Potato.
Rescue to rescue talk- “Don’t worry friend, you’re safe here “

Thank you SO much for the items off the wish list! What a surprise. Thanks again.
And just like that, the 2024 Intake Season is over. In order to properly care for the current residents, we will be operating on a waitlist.
Big shout out to my newest top fans! 💎

Room with a view! Sunset on the Refuge.
We have no intention of becoming a tortoise refuge, but look at this face!! Who could turn away this cutie?
Welcome Milo, the baby Sulcata Tortoise. We look forward to watching you grow (and grow and grow) over the years(and years and years.)
We paused posting during a glorious holiday week, but that doesn’t mean things on the refuge slowed down.
Welcome to five new feathered friends.
One Pekin, and two pair of ducklings both consisting of one Khaki Campbell and one Cayuga!
We are up to 47 ducks- so it's time to share our Amazon Wish List again!
Thank you in advance for helping out!
Is it really that obvious?!😎
Yesterday was a busy day! We took in seven very loved ducks.
One female Jumbo Pekin named Quackerson arrived after a three hour journey. She has old injuries that cause chronic inflammation and our Refuge has easy access to water, food and shelter.
Three very handsome young drakes named Grape, Downy and Goose walked on into the pasture by themselves. They are a black runner, Rouen and a Welsh Harlequin.
And finally three more Jumbo Pekins named Big Mike, Frankie and Momma arrived and joined the flock.
It’s so wonderful when ducks are lovingly surrendered rather than dumped.
By the way, we are almost at 50 ducks right now and close to half are Pekin 🤪
And don't even think about getting a bright polish on your toes!!

Yay for Momma Duck!!
Good thing she wasn't in Alpharetta. GA. That police department refused to help rescue ducklings in a storm drain.
Mother duck called for help when her babies fell into a storm drain. Help arrived.
The cutest guinea keets are now looking for new pastures to roost. They are adorable and so soft and fuzzy, but we have TOO MANY to keep them all.
If you have been wanting a new alarm system or insect predator, come and get a few guineafowl! We are in the Atlanta, GA area.
No, we won't ship them. Sorry.
Thanks for being a top engager and making it on to my weekly engagement list! 🎉 Mara Cullum Moore, Dianna Malta, Melanie Rosen, Lia Chao

The Refuge welcomes the fantastic three! Jane, Cade, Charlotte, let the fun begin!
These little naughties are going to get me in trouble with the groundskeeper (my hubby). He draws the line when it comes to ducks in the pool. 🤪🦆🏖️
Due to predator challenges, we have installed several cameras. Look closely at the lower left corner of this video. In over 20 years, we have never seen Canada geese on our property so this was a surprise. I haven't seen this mamma goose or her goslings in person yet, but now I'll be on the lookout for her.
New ducks joining the refuge this weekend
Ducklings head straight to the first mud puddle they see on their first outdoor adventure
Guinea Hen Spa Day Nothing like a relaxing dust bath to clear your head. 🤪
After several days of rain , this sun-kissed afternoon is perfect for “Donut and his Chicks” to soak up the rays.
Messy Hair, Don’t Care!!!
Today’s Puddle Dance brought to you by the Misty Meadow Ducks
Severe weather means party time for this group! I love how a few of them stop walking halfway and start to swim through the puddles🤪
October means time to put the flock to work making our Halloween pumpkin, aka the CHUCK-O-LANTERN. The chickens get the process started and then the ducks clean it out and “refine the design “.
Bedtime at the Refuge is a bit noisy! The ducks love to escort me to the coop.
Now they are just showing off for the camera!!
This is such a fun age. Just last week they were fuzzy yellow ducklings. Now they are transforming into their adult plumage and I am guessing what type of duck they will be. The bigger duckling and the four little ones are not related- they were dropped off by two separate owners from different locations. Yet it seems like they might all look alike. Stay tuned as we watch them grow.
Look how gorgeous this little guy is becoming. His head feathers are going green, but look at that blue blade in his wings. Wow
It’s the first time I noticed this, but watch and listen carefully and you will see/ hear the large white Pekin stir up the muck with her feet, and then they all gobble up the yuckies she brings to the surface. I was fascinated to watch this behavior.
