Lilly is an imprinted duck, and when indoors
as a duckling, we held her until she fell asleep on our
laps. Today Lilly greets us at the door of her pen, quacks up a storm and eats
out of our hands. She still allows some petting,
especially on her tummy.
Lilly transferred through a few hands to get here as a duckling, so her full
story is not known. We do know she lost a sibling and came to us with pneumonia
and a high fever, which our vet helped us pull her through. Today Lilly is
perfectly healthy and a gorgeous hen.
Both of these happy ducks LOVE nightcrawlers and lettuce and Lilly will eat them from our
hands.
Lilly is in the foreground of the above photo. Piper is in the background.
Lilly and Piper must be adopted out together.
