We can’t be sure where they came from, but as breeds commonly raised by humans for food, these vulnerable little birds likely would not have survived in the wild. Thankfully, prison staff found the ducklings by a dumpster, brought them in from the cold, and began the search for their forever home.

We welcomed the ducks to Farm Sanctuary, where Rad and his friends grew up together and became inseparable. Rad is a popular duck who loves swimming in the pond with his feathered friends. Thanks to your support, he’ll never need a safe place to land again.
