Yesterday we stopped to get gas in the car on our way back to the farm.
We stopped at a gas station that we don't normally go to.
We pulled up and immeadiately we see a Muscovy hen pacing back and forth in front of the door to the gas station!
I watched her watch the people inside walk around and figured she was someone's pet who had come with them for a walk. I've heard of bonded ducks doing weirder things!
My husband comes out and he asked about the duck inside. Apparently it's been coming to the gas station everyday for over a year and people feed it chips and cookies and junk. The guy who runs the station said that it just showed up one day.
We asked him if we could take her home, we felt bad that she was all alone and was living on junk food. The guy wouldn't let us take her. *shrugs*
I'm fine with him "keeping" her but man, he could at least be giving her some proper food! I guess someone dumped her off, poor thing.
I left my name and number with him and told him that is he ever wanted her to go to a home with other ducks and proper food to give me a call.
Poor girl
