I love the name chuck for the teenager duck for chicken and duck. What a riot. I'm so excited about their new home and new buddies. I'm sure that Sam will have that Clay in the palm of his hand - I mean the web of his foot. Wow, their new home sounds awesome. I love the name chuck for the teenager duck for chicken and duck.

I think he enjoys not having to look over his shoulder for Sam the steam engine coming his way. Chewy seems to be just fine.

Is Chewy pining away for his lost crush, Lily? I am so happy for them, even though this is a time of mixed emotions for those of us who have come to know and love Sam and Lily.

Is Chewy pining away for his lost crush, Lily?

They also want a clear escape route. If they can't open their wing span they won't go through it. Carrie: Yep, it's a cute little crested guy. I'm not fond of people breeding crested ducks because there are way too many bad genes associated with crests. They have a much higher incidence of neurological problems and other genetic abnormalities unfortunately. Kelly: Strings keep out raptors because they prefer to dive and swoop in to catch prey.

That picture of you hugging Lilly goodbye is so bittersweet. sniff sniff indeed. As an aside, the funny looking duck that is telling the funny looking turkey it's funny looking, is a crested duck! Yay for crested ducks. They're so silly. I’m glad to see they have a great looking forever home! That picture of you hugging Lilly goodbye is so bittersweet. sniff sniff indeed.

I can see the emotion in your face. I know you will miss them, Tiff, and I will miss hearing about them. But overall I'm thrilled that they have an excellent forever home. After all they've been through, we couldn't have asked for a happier ending. Three cheers for Sam, Lily, Treat Lady, and Forever Humans!!! How nice of you to write up the background and instructions. Hatched and raised by a chicken?? Oh, I'm going to need more explanation on that. LOL. That last photo makes me teary-eyed. I can see the emotion in your face.
