Lucky waited patiently for the pool to open up while Danny girl and Miles splashed and flapped.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7163\/6819129473_5788da3cec.jpg\" alt=\"angle\" \/><br \/>\nYou can see a little bit from this angle that Lucky&#8217;s neck has some weird feathers. That is because there are scabs underneath where he must have been injured. He is feeling much better though, and I think he will be just fine.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7168\/6819085517_23415c21af.jpg\" alt=\"snooze\" \/><br \/>\nLucky is a really friendly kid and he loves to sit on me.

His people obviously treated him really well. He recognized that I speak duck and decided I was okay pretty quickly. Now we&#8217;re good buds. Once he is all done with his medication he will go back to his people and live on his pond.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7014\/6819127097_c4cd8a4d68.jpg\" alt=\"cindy\" \/><br \/>\nAfter Lucky was done sitting on me, Cindy Button hopped up and fell asleep in the sunshine.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7029\/6819819025_b308aac174.jpg\" alt=\"all\" \/><br \/>\nHere&#8217;s Lucky and Danny girl hanging out in their new night pen.
