This Little Duckling Escaped From A Foie Gras Factory...The Rest Is History


If you want to become familiar with the horrors of the meat industry, I’ll leave that to your own discretion…but for now, I’ll introduce you to one adorable duckling who escaped a life of pain and torture when he wandered away from a foie gras factory.


A worker from that very factory brought him home and gave the lucky baby a chance at a good life…and the rest is truly incredible.




Here’s the happy little guy, safe and sound.




He lives in the countryside in France, with lots of open space to roam about…but there’s just one thing.






He needed a mother figure.



One of the chickens on the worker’s family farm had been nursing her own sterile eggs for quite a while, and she wanted to be a mom so badly that sometimes she’d even care for chestnuts in the yard, hoping they’d turn into baby chicks.




The woman had the bright idea to bring the two together.




At first they were both confused, but soon enough…






The hen recognized the duckling as her very own, and the baby began to follow her everywhere.







I think it’s safe to say that everyone comes out a winner in this story!

It’s amazing what two wounded souls can bring to each other’s lives. Instead of facing a short life filled with cruelty, this duckling is now happily roaming free, and this hen finally got to become the mother she was meant to be!
