Jocamo is a Pekin drake who was dropped off in a small and muddy
swamp. Six days after being abandoned, rescuers found it easy to lure him up for
food and said he even seemed happy to go into the large pet carrier they had
waiting for him. Upon his arrival, we also noticed that he prefers to spend a
lot of time in his duck house rather than walking around his pen.
The fact that Jocamo feels so comfortable in small spaces combined with
the terrible state of his feathers tell us that someone bought him as a duckling
and housed him in a dog crate. It's likely that as soon as his family grew tired
of cleaning up the mess, they dumped him off and abandoned him.
Jocamo is a little bit shy at first, but he will run up to us for a
nightcrawler or a watermelon treat! Once this guy settles in and realizes he's safe,
he does very well. We have noticed that
although he isn't crazy about being caught, once held, he settles right into our
arms.
Today Jocamo is a big, beautiful boy! He was best friends with Puff Daddy
before he was adopted and today his best pal is Oh Henry! But ultimately, Jocamo
would like a hen of his own to love.
