Cross Duckling Mallard Adopt Adopted Foster Fostered
Feathered Friends - A Quacky Tale of Unlikely Companionship!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this heartwarming snapshot, we witness an extraordinary bond that transcends species boundaries. Meet our star duo - a sassy 2-year-old New Hampshire red cross chicken and her adopted sidekick, a fluffy 14-day-old mallard duckling! This dynamic duo is breaking all the rules in the animal kingdom. Our feathery heroine, the hen with a heart of gold, stumbled upon an abandoned egg one fine spring day in Suffolk, England. Without hesitation, she took on the role of foster mom to this adorable little mallard duckling. Who knew chickens could be such nurturing souls? As you can see from their delightful print captured by FLPA's talented David Hosking, these two are inseparable! The chicken proudly struts around with her tiny companion waddling close behind. They explore their surroundings together like true partners-in-crime. This picture-perfect moment showcases not only the beauty of nature but also reminds us that love knows no bounds. It serves as a gentle reminder that friendship can blossom even between seemingly different creatures. So next time you're feeling down or need some inspiration for unlikely friendships, let this charming image bring a smile to your face. After all, who wouldn't want to witness such an egg-ceptional tale?
