Poe came to us as an egg. Her mom was killed by a raccoon while sitting on eggs so we took in the eggs that survived and one of our hens Goldy hatched her out and raised her as her own. Ducks are very social so Poe needed a friend as she was the only egg to hatch. Along came Scrappy duck (formerly Barney). We adopted Scrappy from friends whose dog attacked him. To this day he has a missing part of his beak but he doesn't let that stop him. He's Poe's younger man and they have bonded for life. Poe and Scrappy are always found side by side.  As these ducks age their feathers turn white much like our hair does.
