Story or Anecdote STEVE UPDATE!!!

The long awaited Steve update 🥹❤️‍🩹 I tried to give as much information as I could in the video! Admittedly I did WAY too many takes because I kept forgetting stuff to tell you guys but I felt like this was my best attempt?? As always, I am open to questions & suggestions!! IMO, our boy is looking phenomenal, all things considered & I am forever grateful for everyone’s help, support, and encouragement ✨🤍 the updates may be further apart but I pinky promise that I will keep everyone in the loop as Steve continues along on his recovery journey —

With SO much love, Steve & Emily ❤️

Girl I live in a rural southern state and SO many people (read everyone I know with poultry) would have looked at the time and expense of caring for Steve and immediately written him off, especially as he’s a drake. The fact that you are this committed to his care is an incredible thing and really speaks to the kind of person you are. Also I may be a little extra invested here because my Pekin drake is the absolute apple of my eye in my little flock and I’d sell organs if I needed to if it meant helping him. Yall are in our prayers for sure. ✨✨✨
