Freckles

This is Freckles. He is a Pekin that we rescued along with his two ladies from the wildlife rescue, but unfortunately for poor Freckles the two male Mallards on the pond took a shine to his ladies and decided to claim them as their own. After two weeks of trying to defend himself with only half a beak against the malicious Mallards, we decided to give the poor fella a break and take him back to the rescue to find a new mate.
Isn't he a beauty? He came to us with his head held high, the mac daddy with not one but two ladies, and left with his tail tucked between his legs and nobody by his side.
