Happy one year gotcha day, Atticus! He is the coolest guy ever.

Little did he know that in just a few short months he would be reunited with his best buddy, Adonis. Their story is so neat and they are inseparable. Such a tight, loving bond. We are so privileged to get to witness it firsthand every day. 🥰 💚 😍

I have missed being able to spend time with the boys during the extreme cold temperatures we've been having. I took advantage of the above freezing temps today and got some extra special, much needed Samuel time. He sat so sweetly on my lap. 🥰

Gathering around the "watering hole". Hendricks, Samuel and Dakota getting one last drink before bedtime. 🤍 😴

Some neat pics of the boys this evening before bedtime. I was trying to capture the huge, extremely bright planet that's visible (I'm getting mixed answers from Google, so I'm not sure which one it actually is).

Today was a crazy day...I let the boys out for the day and gave them their breakfast like usual. Just as I came back inside to get ready for work, the outdoor fence lights went out which means something tripped the circuit. This is bad because we have 14 heated water bowls and buckets for the boys to have the access they need to fresh water.

With temps in the single digits this morning, I had to find the cause of the power loss. I thought it would be simple to find the source, but every single plug I touched was completely dry and no moisture build up (which i was glad that the effort I put into keeping everything as dry as possible worked, but also frustrating because I was unable to find the culprit).

So I had to miss work in order to try to keep their water from freezing over, which is an undertaking in this weather. I continued to check each plug one by one, and through a time consuming process of elimnation I finally found it! It was one of the extension cords itself!! I'm so glad my Clark Griswold exterior illumination skills finally paid off. 😁 And the boys thankfully have the fresh water they need, which is such a huge relief!

Today was vet day for three of our boys and Atlas called shotgun! He was such a fantastic co-pilot. Rico and Duncan were "relegated"to the back seat. 😁

Atlas is already on medication to treat his arthritis, but recently he started having more difficultly standing and walking. Both of his upper legs became severely swollen and hot to touch, which typically means an infection. The vet confirmed this and prescribed an antibiotic that will hopefully rid him of the infection.

Duncan, a beautiful Rouen that we took in a couple weeks ago, has walked with a limp since he arrived. There wasn't any visual sign of swelling but we wanted him checked out to make sure there wasn't something more we could do for him, even though he gets around great. The vet felt around his upper leg/hip area and noticed what is likely an old injury that didn't heal correctly without the proper treatment he would have needed at the time. She could tell that the muscle in that leg has slightly deteriorated, compared to his good leg. But all in all, he is fine and no further treatment is needed. 🥰

Rico is a handsome Ancona that was one of the first few boys we took in. He's had an ongoing issue with a slight prolapse for the past year. It will get better then appears again. There's no swelling and the tissue is completely healthy. The vet thinks with a little assistance it will eventually get better. 🙏

A few pics of some of the boys after the snow finally stopped today. Thankfully, we got an adult snow day from work so we were able to stay home to shovel them out and put fresh straw down for them to snuggle down. 🤍

All of the birthday wishes are meaningful, but this one kind of took the cake 🥰 🦆💚

It is rainy and extremely muddy here, and the boys are in heaven! A little mud can't mess these handsome guys up. 🤍 💚

We made a road trip to Dayton last night to pick up these three beautiful boys. They have such a cool story, thanks to some amazing and dedicated people that were committed to rescuing them after they were carelessly dumped, along with two other hens. They watched over and fed them for weeks until they were able to finally capture them from the icy pond a few weeks ago.

Please meet Gunther (blue swede/gray & white), Duncan (rouen/brown chest), and Brooks (khaki/brown)! We are so thankful they were rescued and now get to live out their lives knowing nothing but love from here on! 🥰

I got some extra special Samuel time this evening. 🤍 It's been a bit since I've held him, but I was so happy he didn't fight me at all. He just relaxed and sat on my lap, letting me pet him. 🥰

He and his brother, Dakota, aka "the babies", are around eight months old now. We are so thankful we were able to rescue them after being dumped at just a few weeks old.

We posted a few days ago about our cold weather long sleeve shirts and hoodies being available through our website. It drew out the spammers so it was deleted and is being reposted now.

With the colder temps, our boys are really going through the food!! 100% of the proceeds from the merch goes directly to their tummies and daily care expenses.

Also, please let us know if there's a color you prefer but don't see and we'll do what we can to make it happen. 😊

If merch isn't your thing, we also accept donations through Zelle or PayPal. Your donations are tax deductible.

You can also donate on the website which will take you to Chewy where you can purchase a gift card. Those are used toward our weekly auto shipments of food. We are currently going through three 50 lb bags a week!! 😮

No matter how you support our wonderful boys, we are forever grateful. Thank YOU!!!

100% of the proceeds from purchases go toward our rescue ducks to provide food, shelter and medical supplies! Thank you for your support!

Alden loves to be cozy. He was the first one to check out their new accommodations and he approves. 🤍

We adopted Alden and his buddy Alfred last year. They were part of a group of six that were rescued after being dumped at an apartment complex in Ohio. They are both such good, sweet boys and living the good life now!! 😍
