I'm glad you thinned your hecticity of heavy clientele. This seems to have left you the chance to explore other types of animals to groom as well as the freedom to give yerself time away from the grooming yet still helping through promotion of others who want to better the lives of animals.
You should ask Urban Rescue Ranch to see what he thinks about it. I've seen on his channel a few instances of goofy legs and angel wings due to common nutrition issues. This could be the duck grew up under these conditions and is permanently effected in its adult life.
All disabled deserve respect, animal or human. I'm thankful for not being disabled but no one is unable to get disabled, we never know what tomorrow brings so we should be thankful for both. For real, my heart goes to everyone that has to face any disability, Love you all.

I swear Frankie the duck smiled when he got into his bath. It's so good that you keep promoting the charitable work of others. Keep it up and thank you for highlighting them.
Aww, bless his little ducky heart. Jane here. We used to raise ducks; they are super fun. Fun fact: only the females quack. The drakes make a grumble sound. Frankie is having such a great time!
My best friend and neighbor had a killer duck. It would run people off her yard like a guard dog ! He might be ok with her friends, but it wasn't a sure thing. lol
I love your approach to the animals. "This is ___" and "this is who they are" Every animal deserves the right to be treated with dignity and a huge part of that is getting to know who they are! Thank you for the good you put into the world 😊
@@skootergirl22 I must be confused then. Maybe I just didn't see the video where she was grooming the insects. I'll have to look back through her videos
@@KrabbyPatty_ He'd die and become part of the food chain even without his disability. I appreciate that even a lot of disabled humans have a crap life so a duck being properly looked after is a little patronising but that doesn't seem to be your point? We're a sapient species after all so we might as well have empathy, otherwise what else could we value.
@@hamjaro2920 of course he'd die eventually but with his disability in the wild he wouldn't have a chance and die much sooner - that was my point because I think I answered to someone wondering what would've happened to the duck if nobody had taken care of him if he hadn't "been so lucky". 🤷🏻♀️
My daughter has SMA and uses a wheelchair. She always loves to see animals that get a 2nd chance at a great life using a wheelchair. Life is so precious.
I'm very sorry...I had to look it up and I saw there are 4 types ..may I ask which one? How old is your daughter? It's so wonderful seeing children loving the beautiful animals. It has been a godsend on many levels when they started using wheelchairs and other prosthetics on animals.
@@paulapalais She is a weak type 2. She has a very happy life. You can check out her TH-cam channel. It is called Tori Does Everything. She really doesn’t let her disability hold her back. She will be 16 in May. ❤️
Wheelchair & walker user here as well. I have severely less functioning legs, they are not paralyzed but I can barely walk straight, never mind for an extended amount of time. I fully understand this, and loved this video!
I used to have a duck when I was a child...called her squeaky..she was a Mallard. I love ducks so much! I have never seen a duck in a wheelchair before. I absolutely love people who help animals. You do such wonderful work.
A duck named Squeaky 😆 I love it!! I have a cat named Squeaky, and a duck named Sweet Pea. I feel like there's a rhyme or poem hiding in there somewhere 🤔 lol
Years ago, my grandma had 6 white ducks. Grandma walked with kind of a waddle and the ducks followed her everywhere, it was cute to see. Every night they followed her to their house to be put away safe for the night, she lived in the country. She had a tub for them to swim and she would squirt them with the hose. I still have pictures.
I didn’t know I needed to see duck get hugged while being blow dried or in a bow tie today, but now it is a lovely day because of it. Thank you for this wonderful video, and thank you to Grey’s Haven for giving these animals a wonderful life!
From what i heard, pekin duck has a lot of health issue because they've been bred selectively for meat. So they grow way bigger and heavier than normal duck. As a result, many of them has issues with walking (i think because of weight balance)
As someone who raises and breeds pekins, they're actually one of the healthiest breeds that I've had- however, I raise them differently than most people. (I let the ducklings free range, which results in much stronger and active birds) The only ducks that I had struggle to walk were poorly bred Swedish Black ducks with genetic niacin deficiency. (I did not breed them) This is just my experience though, other people may have completely different opinions. :)
@@julianna9854 this particular one seems like jumbo pekin. And I understand there are many varieties of pekin. I just learnt about them from reading of course, i'm not a farmer. I read that their rapid growth rate is what contributes to their health problems. Like the video said, the owner said they don't know what caused the duck's disability.
@@agem6592 that's a good point- I do breed mine to be on the larger side, but health is the most important factor in my decision and I raise standard Pekins, not jumbo. I hadn't thought about it, but it makes sense that the jumbo pekins could have some health issues.
It can be the same with some chicken breeds. Poorly bred meat breeds grow so fast they can’t walk. But if they’re properly raised, and properly sourced, then they’ll live wonderful lives.
People are sometimes curious why someone would want a wheelchair for an animal. My dog had one in his older years and like Frankie it was a struggle to have a good one. I think by improving animal wheelchairs it can also help us with designs for human wheelchairs. I think animals can have a very good quality of life despite having to use wheels instead of legs
There’s a little dog in my neighborhood who needs wheels for her back end, and she seems to have adapted so beautifully. Animals don’t seem to feel sorry for themselves… they’re a real lesson on how to be in the moment and do the best you can with what you’ve got… and we owe it to our fellow creatures (human and otherwise) to help them however we can.
I understand a dog, kind of. A duck is not a pet. A duck cannot BE a pet. The are strapping it into a contraption and being like "oh it's so happy now" and the duck struggles to even groom itself properly. It cannot act like a normal duck. They should put the poor thing out of its misery. I don't understand why people take compassion so far that it turns into cruelty.
@@sj4iy bruh, if a dog can have a weelchair so can a duck or any other animal. And yes ducks can be pets, i've never had a pet duck but I have pet chickens so I guess they're similar, they're pretty smart animals, if you teach them correctly they will learn tricks and even learn to defend you. They don't really like leashes or stuff put around them, but i'm pretty sure a disabled animal would accept a weelchair just fine cause it helps it move. The duck doesen't really seem to be in extreme pain, like with some disease so I don't see a reason to put it down
@@max_punch exactly! Also most disabled animals struggle with grooming, it doesn't inherently mean they have a bad quality of life as long as someone else can help them out. Elderly cats often aren't flexible enough to lick their whole body for example.
@@sj4iy to be honest it is a matter of opinion and perception. for example a French Bulldog needs assistance with grooming due to it's genetic makeup, almost all dogs & cats need assistance with cleaning their eyes & ears no matter how efficient they are in self grooming. People keep a wide variety of pets for various reasons. If the animal is treated fair, not in pain etc there is nothing wrong with what they are doing.
Once he figures out the rhythm of moving with his wheels, he can really move on out! It will be great once he gets wheels that are better suited for him.
Frankie is flipping adorable 🥰 I love his Bowtie. This boi is now a distinguished gentleman. And as for his wheels. One day he shall be zooming about like the fastest birb ever! Go Fast Frank! Quack!
@@brian19991 your comment is giving ableism. That duck is living its best life but you would know that if you stopped viewing disability as this devastating thing hindering you from ever being happy and living a high quality life. Watch the video, you won't regret it.
@@longbow857 I don’t understand what you’re saying. For thousands of years the best available option for disabled animals was a quick death. The fact that life is even an option for animals like this is a huge improvement.
@@connormccloy9399 that mindset is way too emotional and unnatural. In nature disabled animals get picked off by predators. It is their efficient way of surviving. We give one disabled duck a wheelchair, and meanwhile we keep billions of animals in small cages for food whereas in the past we did hunt them in the wild for an accasional meat serving. Millions of animal species die out because of our consumerism economy instead of recycle economy. Be aware that the word ''waste'' did not excists before the industrial revolution. You only get waste if you consume things you don't need. These are the kind of examples in wich I mean we are ineracting with animals at the absolute worst in this time period. Yes it goes way further then your simple thought about this single duck, but if you were aware of what us humans cause in this age you wouldn't phrase it like that.
@@longbow857 I believe your comment gets into the question whether or not human life is a good thing, which needless to say I'm not prepared to discuss in this format.
@@longbow857 You're so wrong, buddy. Every day the social awareness to protect wildlife grows bigger and bigger. More santuaries, more shelters and more organizations dedicated to save and preserve nature are created. More animals are taken out of the critically endangered list of extinction as our efforts to restore their population prove to be succesfull. We are still a shellfish species that destroys acres and acres of habitats per day, but we're getting better. Late is always better than never. Not to say that, as Connor stated, this duck and most other disabled animals wouldn't be alive 50 years ago, as we couldn't care less about an animal's health back then, let alone work to make prothesis for them.
IM SOBBING. I had a pekin dumped in my neighbourhood and I used a broom to usher the little woman into my backyard because I was terrified of birds. Now we snuggle by the fire together and she’s my little feathered buddy that I love with all of my heart!!! She’s the sweetest giant birb even though she walks like she just found out she has feet and is wearing shoes 3x too big. 😂🥰
THEY NAMED HIM REUBEN THATS LITERALLY THE NAME OF A DEAD PIG IN MINECRAFT STORYMODE 😟 edit: omg I know that a lot of people use that name, I just thought it was funny
They must love their animals. They even let the pigs keep their tusks, meaning that they're willing to deal with any risks that come with it. That's how you know they're truly kind to them.
@@lunix3259 Exactly. Though with corgis removing them is entirely cruel. Pigs often have their tusks removed to prevent injuries to the pig itself and fellow pigs or other animals around it, so there are good reasons to do it. But in the end if you try hard enough you can prevent and also treat these things when they happen, so a dedicated owner is able to own them and keep their tusks. I don't hate people who removed them, but I respect those who keep them since they most likely did so due to taking very good care of them. With corgis, you've got absolutely no reason to dock their tails. That's just wrong. It doesn't harm the dog in any way to keep it, but it DOES hurt the dog and expose it to potential infection to cut the tail off. Absolutely wrong. I don't like people who choose to dock tails. Or ears.
@@catpoke9557 oh my god don’t tell me corgis have tails but i never knew bc them not having tails was normalized…. i’m shocked this information and now very disappointed in owners who dock their beautiful long tails
@@catpoke9557 I have heard from a few farmers that the reason tusks are removed/trimmed is because when pigs smell blood, they do kinda go out of control. Like. It's documented fact that most pigs will attack almost anything that bleeds on them. But removal weakens the jaw and can cause infection, so actual good farmers just keep 'em trimmed. you probably already know this I just feel like this should be known by more people
I have a disabled jumbo pekin duck.. both of her legs are out of joint..I carry her everyday to her food. She's otherwise healthy and when I put her in the pool she is just like a perfectly normal duck. I hope someday to get a wheelchair or something else for her. Ducks are really a joy to have. Especially on rainy days 😁
Look up wheelchair ideas for pekins I'm sure there's something cheap you can do! How old is your jumbo? I have a 3 yr old jumbo Pekin! I've tried to have her on a somewhat diet and she's still walking pretty well! I always said if anything happened id make her a wheelchair at least to pull her around on. She enjoys swimming in a pool deep enough to get her weight off her legs! It helps a lot. I'm so glad you help yours I hope you can figure out something for a wheelchair!
The turkey is beautiful. They are massive birds with beautiful feathers. My grandparents use to rescue animals too. I grew up with four alligators living in the barn they had a pool and house. We also had turkeys they were rescued from the sloter house. We didn't have very many pig's, we had sheep. I took care of gaint rabbits that were illegally sold. They were left in small cages. I helped build a big playhouse for them. I miss my grandparents, they passed out a few years ago. I have great memories of them.

@@xxxx-nf7bf he lives in a sanctuary so… not exactly. I think since he’s not going to be eaten it just makes sense to give him a pleasant life until he dies if possible.
Preening also loosens and opens up the pin feathers (new feathers), and is a very important process for birds to keep a healthy crop of feathers on their body. Thank you for taking such good care of this sweet boy!
I will never be able to understand cruelty to animals. Meanwhile - many good wishes to you for your kindness and compassion. Girl the with The Dogs is also Girl with the Enormous Heart.
The psychopathology isn't so hard to understand, and it has a few different flavors, but being a decent person you can't identify with it in any way. Call it a lack of empathy.
easy there, they said they dont know why he lost the use of his legs, could've been a genetic disorder or who knows: can we save the psychopath/pedophile/satanist TH-cam rants at least for when they actually apply?
That's a dark way of thinking, that cruelty caused his issue and not many natural and environmental impact. Not all rescue animal were abused. It is an awesome thing nevertheless.
@@julianmarx2002 they also talked about other animals on the farm being abused? The fact that you go so offended at someone saying abuse is bad is quite worrying
Hey?? Doesn't it almost seem difficult to imagine any of em havn the scars from the neglect or abuse they've had to endure...its hard to imagine it bcuza their severe/extreme happiness of today!😊
I’d love to see how you handle grooming rats. I had an elderly boy who couldn’t groom himself so I had to brush him with a flea comb and bath him with a toothbrush.
It would be something special to see one of SaveAFox's foxes groomed. But considering the distance between Ontario and Minnesota, that might just remain a pipe dream of mine 😂
Lol dont give up on that pipe dream of urs tho my friend! This chick is a powerhouse so it wouldn't surprise me if she made that dream of urs come true lol she's pulled even trickier things out her sleeve😉
That duck and I have a lot in common. I'm so glad that the duck is safe and cared for now. Disabilities are really hard and they make bathing and basically doing anything harder. That's one strong duck.
I know, I feel the same it breaks my heart into tiny little pieces. 💔 Then I am so happy for people in the world like this who give them all that they deserve and more. I try and do my best wherever and whenever I can. To own a rescue sanctuary one day is a dream of mine. 😇😌
@@123gawronik Sometimes they require it however. I have 5 year old lionhead rabbit and he often needs his butt and feet bathed because he has a difficult time doing it since he's older now. Rabbits don't go into shock because of the water, they go into shock usually because of the cold so they need to be dried thoroughly and completely.
Yeah these videos are for your pleasure not to get some education ,empathy or admiration for people that love animals and really care for them or see them as non-traditionnal pets.Bunnies taking baths?
@@frosted-bird8740 thank you for this lol ppl act like bunnies die as soon as they touch water like yeah you shouldn't soak them and shampoo them but a little rinse every once in a while won't kill them as long as they're dried
Most pets upon seeing bath: ≋ℕ𝕠𝕆𝕠𝕆𝕆!≋🤐 *_sound of claws scraping across any surface within reach_* Frankie: 𝘐 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘴!!🐣 *splishy-splashy* _Also Frankie:_ Look ma, no feets! 🌊*gets poor groomer all wet*😄 Thank you for your patience with him, Girl With the Dogs! ♥♥ Your channel is great and actually I find it super relaxing.👍🏻 I really hope Frankie got his new (better fitting) wheelchair, those feathers broken off must be uncomfy for him. Thank you also for putting up Grey's Haven, there's a lot of Sanctuary's and farms that need volunteers like us and our support!💑
Thank you for highlighting a farm sanctuary! Someday when I can actually own a home; I'd love to take in some rescue chickens to just let them live out their days enjoying the grass.
This is also my dream... but I have chickens here where I am and they are precious. I would love to be able to help other animals as well as more chickens!
remember to look into municipal codes before buying a forever home, it'd suck to move into a house and realize you can't keep an animal because of an ordinance.
That poor little quacker. It's heartwarming to know that someone cares for this unfortunate, crippled critter. I wish him a long and happy life as unimpeded as possible by his disability.
It's a neurological problem. I forgot the name of it. My second dog had the same problem. His back legs gave out and he was constantly ''dizzy'' and would wobble his head left and right and couldn't walk straight. It's like leg paralysis + being very drunk at the same time. Harmless neurological problem but very sad...
I'm not sure if this will help, but some baby gooses at my father's have trouble walking that seem similar to Frankie. They can move their legs but don't seem able to keep standing on them. My dad came to the conclusion that they're not muscled enough, and managed to find a way to help them get stronger and not get 'bad habits', by tying a short rope from one of their legs to the other. Long enough that they can walk but short enough that their legs don't go too far from one another. This until they manage without the rope. ....Hope that helps? ^^;;;;;;
thats called splay leg or spraddle leg! its often be a congenital deformity caused by too much heat durring incubation, or by a vitamin deficiency- your father is treating it correctly, but it can only be treated in young chicks because their bones and joints are much more flexible
I’d like to see your groom a ferret. I loved having them as pets when my kids were growing up. They are so entertaining. You are such an inspiration. ❤️
It's amazing that some in the comments can be so cold hearted. Like, for example, one guy was like put it out of it's misery. Or how it's such a waste of time to help any of these creatures out. I feel that most people don't understand ethics. I think people think that animals are basically robotic pieces of meat that are just born to die. But people don't understand that we are apart of the animal kingdom as well, and while we are much more developed in our cognitive functionality, we still have a choice. We have a responsibility to use our conscious choices for good. People don't know enough about animals, so they take what is sold to them and just go with it because they don't take the time to learn and make a better choice. This is a subject people need to learn about more and hopefully make more human choices. I also understand there will be a bunch of experts out there trying to prove a point to boost their ego. Go for it. All thoughts should be heard. We should all ask questions, and not stay stuck in one school of thought.
I'm so happy that you're showcasing a farm rescue. Especially knowing they save animals from the meat industry. I'm not 100 percent against eating meat, but I am against the industries in place. Animals shouldn't be a commodity. To me, if you want to eat meat you should be willing to either hunt, raise, or seek out a farm where you can see the animals' care. Just because their 'purpose' is meat doesn't mean they aren't living, breathing things who feel pain, fear and discomfort. They should have a good life, and we should be thankful and use every part.
99% of poultry consumed in the US comes from factory farms. They are basically concentration camps for other species. In fact that is where Hitler got the inspiration. Maybe time to up the rhetoric a tad.
I like the sentiment, but it's hardly practical for people in cities to raise their own animals. And while I grew up hunting and fishing, that's not practical either. I can imagine the havoc of all those city folk trying to go hunting during hunting season.
it's so critically important that we recognize the value of all animals lives the same way that we do dogs and cats. it makes no sense to make the distinction. we have so far to go here, thank you for bringing some light to this issue
@@natashakate1087 honestly i wanna go vegan but like theres certain vegans (*cough* thatveganteacher) who's very pushy. maybe one day i'll learn to ignore them.
I used to love my iguana's daily baths, so if someone nearby has an iggu that needs grooming that would be a delight. They usually need a mani/pedi, too. My boy Turk was a rescue, he had burns on top of his head from getting too close to heat lamps -- he was a free-roamer, but his first person didn't have a warm enough basking spot for him, so Turk kept pressing up against the heat lamps trying to get warm and winding up burning himself. Two years and a lot of polysporin (and a dedicated, partially-enclosed basking spot) healed some of it, but he always had burn marks and small places scales wouldn't grow, which made shedding his skin extra challenging in a few spots. I loved that ig, whether he was knocking stuff off my dresser with his tail because HEY HEY THE SUN IS UP LET'S GO GET UP or laying on my chest, staring into my eyes, and slowly tapping his dewlap on my chin. Because that's a totally normal and not at all frightening way to start your day.
I adore iggys... always wanted to be in a position to set up an iggy rescue but it never came to pass. They are wonderful, but many people seem to take them on without realising just what they will need as they get to be adults. Same with the large snake breeds. Reading that you woke up to an iggy laying on you (my cats do that every morning too), made me smile a lot. You're lucky to have that wholesome experience :) x
I just love you so much. Thank you for providing services to the animal sanctuary and telling people about them. I adored Frankie! He needs to do that more often, he IS a duck. He was so joyful when you were bathing him. I think he liked the blow dry, too. Sweet pigs. Thank you
I would volunteer 2 weeks every yearly quarter if I lived closer. I love animals and would be super excited to help! In the meantime, I will donate. The work you all do is incredible. ❤️
Very cool to see Frankie, i had a duck when i was young and unfortunately he died. Today this video give me a smile , and at 3:58 he was just want a huge hug for a great work.😇
wow never thought i’d have so much fun watching a duck have a bath, frankie is such an amazing duck and i cant wait to see some more farm animals on your channel
The thought that places such as Grey's Haven exist in this world warms my heart and feeds my soul. If I lived near there I'd volunteer in a nanosecond! I admire, and thank deeply, all animal rescue sanctuaries!
I would give him a bath everyday if I had Frankie! Seeing this again 2yrs later and I love him just as much now as I did the first time! I hope Frankie is alive and thriving!
This was so adorable especially when he got into the water it was like," hey this is my element. home sweet home!!!.. * flap flap fluff fluff flap flap*" lol hahaha 😆😊

@@KrabbyPatty_ yeah but he lives in a sanctuary…. So really your point is kinda moot
@@KrabbyPatty_ He'd die and become part of the food chain even without his disability. I appreciate that even a lot of disabled humans have a crap life so a duck being properly looked after is a little patronising but that doesn't seem to be your point? We're a sapient species after all so we might as well have empathy, otherwise what else could we value.
@@hamjaro2920 of course he'd die eventually but with his disability in the wild he wouldn't have a chance and die much sooner - that was my point because I think I answered to someone wondering what would've happened to the duck if nobody had taken care of him if he hadn't "been so lucky".

My daughter has SMA and uses a wheelchair. She always loves to see animals that get a 2nd chance at a great life using a wheelchair. Life is so precious.
I'm very sorry...I had to look it up and I saw there are 4 types ..may I ask which one?
How old is your daughter? It's so wonderful seeing children loving the beautiful animals.
It has been a godsend on many levels when they started using wheelchairs and other prosthetics on animals.

I used to have a duck when I was a child...called her squeaky..she was a Mallard. I love ducks so much! I have never seen a duck in a wheelchair before. I absolutely love people who help animals. You do such wonderful work.
A duck named Squeaky 😆 I love it!!
I have a cat named Squeaky, and a duck named Sweet Pea.
I feel like there's a rhyme or poem hiding in there somewhere 🤔 lol
They are such characters :)
Years ago, my grandma had 6 white ducks. Grandma walked with kind of a waddle and the ducks followed her everywhere, it was cute to see. Every night they followed her to their house to be put away safe for the night, she lived in the country. She had a tub for them to swim and she would squirt them with the hose. I still have pictures.
That's adorable! I live on a lake with wild ducks and I love hearing their little conversations. =)
I didn’t know I needed to see duck get hugged while being blow dried or in a bow tie today, but now it is a lovely day because of it. Thank you for this wonderful video, and thank you to Grey’s Haven for giving these animals a wonderful life!
From what i heard, pekin duck has a lot of health issue because they've been bred selectively for meat. So they grow way bigger and heavier than normal duck. As a result, many of them has issues with walking (i think because of weight balance)
As someone who raises and breeds pekins, they're actually one of the healthiest breeds that I've had- however, I raise them differently than most people. (I let the ducklings free range, which results in much stronger and active birds)
The only ducks that I had struggle to walk were poorly bred Swedish Black ducks with genetic niacin deficiency. (I did not breed them)
This is just my experience though, other people may have completely different opinions. :)
@@julianna9854 this particular one seems like jumbo pekin. And I understand there are many varieties of pekin. I just learnt about them from reading of course, i'm not a farmer. I read that their rapid growth rate is what contributes to their health problems. Like the video said, the owner said they don't know what caused the duck's disability.
@@agem6592 that's a good point- I do breed mine to be on the larger side, but health is the most important factor in my decision and I raise standard Pekins, not jumbo. I hadn't thought about it, but it makes sense that the jumbo pekins could have some health issues.
It can be the same with some chicken breeds. Poorly bred meat breeds grow so fast they can’t walk. But if they’re properly raised, and properly sourced, then they’ll live wonderful lives.
I love Chinese Pekin duck. It's soooo yummy
People are sometimes curious why someone would want a wheelchair for an animal. My dog had one in his older years and like Frankie it was a struggle to have a good one. I think by improving animal wheelchairs it can also help us with designs for human wheelchairs. I think animals can have a very good quality of life despite having to use wheels instead of legs
There’s a little dog in my neighborhood who needs wheels for her back end, and she seems to have adapted so beautifully. Animals don’t seem to feel sorry for themselves… they’re a real lesson on how to be in the moment and do the best you can with what you’ve got… and we owe it to our fellow creatures (human and otherwise) to help them however we can.
I understand a dog, kind of. A duck is not a pet. A duck cannot BE a pet. The are strapping it into a contraption and being like "oh it's so happy now" and the duck struggles to even groom itself properly. It cannot act like a normal duck. They should put the poor thing out of its misery. I don't understand why people take compassion so far that it turns into cruelty.
@@sj4iy bruh, if a dog can have a weelchair so can a duck or any other animal. And yes ducks can be pets, i've never had a pet duck but I have pet chickens so I guess they're similar, they're pretty smart animals, if you teach them correctly they will learn tricks and even learn to defend you. They don't really like leashes or stuff put around them, but i'm pretty sure a disabled animal would accept a weelchair just fine cause it helps it move. The duck doesen't really seem to be in extreme pain, like with some disease so I don't see a reason to put it down
@@max_punch exactly! Also most disabled animals struggle with grooming, it doesn't inherently mean they have a bad quality of life as long as someone else can help them out. Elderly cats often aren't flexible enough to lick their whole body for example.
@@sj4iy to be honest it is a matter of opinion and perception. for example a French Bulldog needs assistance with grooming due to it's genetic makeup, almost all dogs & cats need assistance with cleaning their eyes & ears no matter how efficient they are in self grooming. People keep a wide variety of pets for various reasons. If the animal is treated fair, not in pain etc there is nothing wrong with what they are doing.
2:14 I like the implication that the human in a coat standing next to the turkey is his wife.
Once he figures out the rhythm of moving with his wheels, he can really move on out! It will be great once he gets wheels that are better suited for him.

@@longbow857 I don’t understand what you’re saying. For thousands of years the best available option for disabled animals was a quick death. The fact that life is even an option for animals like this is a huge improvement.
@@connormccloy9399 that mindset is way too emotional and unnatural. In nature disabled animals get picked off by predators. It is their efficient way of surviving. We give one disabled duck a wheelchair, and meanwhile we keep billions of animals in small cages for food whereas in the past we did hunt them in the wild for an accasional meat serving. Millions of animal species die out because of our consumerism economy instead of recycle economy. Be aware that the word ''waste'' did not excists before the industrial revolution. You only get waste if you consume things you don't need. These are the kind of examples in wich I mean we are ineracting with animals at the absolute worst in this time period. Yes it goes way further then your simple thought about this single duck, but if you were aware of what us humans cause in this age you wouldn't phrase it like that.
@@longbow857 I believe your comment gets into the question whether or not human life is a good thing, which needless to say I'm not prepared to discuss in this format.
@@longbow857 You're so wrong, buddy. Every day the social awareness to protect wildlife grows bigger and bigger. More santuaries, more shelters and more organizations dedicated to save and preserve nature are created. More animals are taken out of the critically endangered list of extinction as our efforts to restore their population prove to be succesfull. We are still a shellfish species that destroys acres and acres of habitats per day, but we're getting better. Late is always better than never. Not to say that, as Connor stated, this duck and most other disabled animals wouldn't be alive 50 years ago, as we couldn't care less about an animal's health back then, let alone work to make prothesis for them.

They must love their animals. They even let the pigs keep their tusks, meaning that they're willing to deal with any risks that come with it. That's how you know they're truly kind to them.
That's pike letting corgies keep their long tail
@@lunix3259 Exactly. Though with corgis removing them is entirely cruel. Pigs often have their tusks removed to prevent injuries to the pig itself and fellow pigs or other animals around it, so there are good reasons to do it. But in the end if you try hard enough you can prevent and also treat these things when they happen, so a dedicated owner is able to own them and keep their tusks. I don't hate people who removed them, but I respect those who keep them since they most likely did so due to taking very good care of them.
With corgis, you've got absolutely no reason to dock their tails. That's just wrong. It doesn't harm the dog in any way to keep it, but it DOES hurt the dog and expose it to potential infection to cut the tail off. Absolutely wrong. I don't like people who choose to dock tails. Or ears.
@@catpoke9557 oh my god don’t tell me corgis have tails but i never knew bc them not having tails was normalized…. i’m shocked this information and now very disappointed in owners who dock their beautiful long tails
@@michelle-mq4hw Some of them are born without tails, but most are born with. People dock those ones most of the time.
@@catpoke9557 I have heard from a few farmers that the reason tusks are removed/trimmed is because when pigs smell blood, they do kinda go out of control. Like. It's documented fact that most pigs will attack almost anything that bleeds on them. But removal weakens the jaw and can cause infection, so actual good farmers just keep 'em trimmed. you probably already know this I just feel like this should be known by more people

I have a disabled jumbo pekin duck.. both of her legs are out of joint..I carry her everyday to her food. She's otherwise healthy and when I put her in the pool she is just like a perfectly normal duck. I hope someday to get a wheelchair or something else for her. Ducks are really a joy to have. Especially on rainy days 😁
You are amazing 😊 can we have more people like you please! I hope she gets her wheels so she can zoom round with you 😊❤
Look up wheelchair ideas for pekins I'm sure there's something cheap you can do!
How old is your jumbo? I have a 3 yr old jumbo Pekin! I've tried to have her on a somewhat diet and she's still walking pretty well! I always said if anything happened id make her a wheelchair at least to pull her around on.
She enjoys swimming in a pool deep enough to get her weight off her legs! It helps a lot.
I'm so glad you help yours I hope you can figure out something for a wheelchair!
The turkey is beautiful. They are massive birds with beautiful feathers. My grandparents use to rescue animals too. I grew up with four alligators living in the barn they had a pool and house. We also had turkeys they were rescued from the sloter house. We didn't have very many pig's, we had sheep. I took care of gaint rabbits that were illegally sold. They were left in small cages. I helped build a big playhouse for them. I miss my grandparents, they passed out a few years ago. I have great memories of them.
I'm happy you have such great memories with them, may they rest in peace.

4:05 Frankie: HERE WE GO MOTHER QUACKERS
That poor little quacker. It's heartwarming to know that someone cares for this unfortunate, crippled critter. I wish him a long and happy life as unimpeded as possible by his disability.
It's a neurological problem. I forgot the name of it. My second dog had the same problem. His back legs gave out and he was constantly ''dizzy'' and would wobble his head left and right and couldn't walk straight. It's like leg paralysis + being very drunk at the same time. Harmless neurological problem but very sad...
I have never seen a pig sit on command before and I am incredibly impressed.
I don't know why but pets named Franky are just on another level
I didn't think I'd be blessed with seeing a duck get groomed, today is a great day.
Me after every video: Oh my god she is a saint
Me after this video: OH MY GOD SHE REALLY IS A SAINT!!!
Ikr? Between all of the other work she does and now this, she's definitely one of the best people out there.
Upon seeing the very first frame my first reaction was “He has a spaceship “
I'm not sure if this will help, but some baby gooses at my father's have trouble walking that seem similar to Frankie. They can move their legs but don't seem able to keep standing on them. My dad came to the conclusion that they're not muscled enough, and managed to find a way to help them get stronger and not get 'bad habits', by tying a short rope from one of their legs to the other. Long enough that they can walk but short enough that their legs don't go too far from one another. This until they manage without the rope. ....Hope that helps? ^^;;;;;;
oh, he's using a farm method of physical therapy bands! he came to the same conclusion in such a different method, that's wild.
thats called splay leg or spraddle leg! its often be a congenital deformity caused by too much heat durring incubation, or by a vitamin deficiency- your father is treating it correctly, but it can only be treated in young chicks because their bones and joints are much more flexible
It looks like he has a brain injury the way he is moving his head seems like he's disoriented.

It's amazing that some in the comments can be so cold hearted. Like, for example, one guy was like put it out of it's misery. Or how it's such a waste of time to help any of these creatures out. I feel that most people don't understand ethics. I think people think that animals are basically robotic pieces of meat that are just born to die. But people don't understand that we are apart of the animal kingdom as well, and while we are much more developed in our cognitive functionality, we still have a choice. We have a responsibility to use our conscious choices for good. People don't know enough about animals, so they take what is sold to them and just go with it because they don't take the time to learn and make a better choice. This is a subject people need to learn about more and hopefully make more human choices. I also understand there will be a bunch of experts out there trying to prove a point to boost their ego. Go for it. All thoughts should be heard. We should all ask questions, and not stay stuck in one school of thought.
I bet you never killed a fly or stepped on some ants or swatted a mosquito because insects are also part of the animal kingdom aswell
You know, one day you'll probably have like a giraffe stroll into the shop for a groom. And I'm here for it
I'm living for the different species that you're grooming!!
This story means more to me as I was neglected and abused by my own family. I’m so glad these beautiful animals have found a space place.
I'm so happy that you're showcasing a farm rescue. Especially knowing they save animals from the meat industry. I'm not 100 percent against eating meat, but I am against the industries in place. Animals shouldn't be a commodity. To me, if you want to eat meat you should be willing to either hunt, raise, or seek out a farm where you can see the animals' care. Just because their 'purpose' is meat doesn't mean they aren't living, breathing things who feel pain, fear and discomfort. They should have a good life, and we should be thankful and use every part.
99% of poultry consumed in the US comes from factory farms. They are basically concentration camps for other species. In fact that is where Hitler got the inspiration. Maybe time to up the rhetoric a tad.
I like the sentiment, but it's hardly practical for people in cities to raise their own animals. And while I grew up hunting and fishing, that's not practical either. I can imagine the havoc of all those city folk trying to go hunting during hunting season.

I used to love my iguana's daily baths, so if someone nearby has an iggu that needs grooming that would be a delight. They usually need a mani/pedi, too.
My boy Turk was a rescue, he had burns on top of his head from getting too close to heat lamps -- he was a free-roamer, but his first person didn't have a warm enough basking spot for him, so Turk kept pressing up against the heat lamps trying to get warm and winding up burning himself.
Two years and a lot of polysporin (and a dedicated, partially-enclosed basking spot) healed some of it, but he always had burn marks and small places scales wouldn't grow, which made shedding his skin extra challenging in a few spots.
I loved that ig, whether he was knocking stuff off my dresser with his tail because HEY HEY THE SUN IS UP LET'S GO GET UP or laying on my chest, staring into my eyes, and slowly tapping his dewlap on my chin. Because that's a totally normal and not at all frightening way to start your day.
I adore iggys... always wanted to be in a position to set up an iggy rescue but it never came to pass. They are wonderful, but many people seem to take them on without realising just what they will need as they get to be adults. Same with the large snake breeds. Reading that you woke up to an iggy laying on you (my cats do that every morning too), made me smile a lot. You're lucky to have that wholesome experience :) x
Omg I never thought I’d see a duck in a wheel chair. But so happy to see that Frankie is looked after and still gets around. Amen to Frankie
I just love you so much. Thank you for providing services to the animal sanctuary and telling people about them. I adored Frankie! He needs to do that more often, he IS a duck. He was so joyful when you were bathing him. I think he liked the blow dry, too. Sweet pigs. Thank you
But why pretend to need to groom a duck just to promote this sanctuary?
If the worlds's leaders were even half as kind hearted as you are, we wouldn't have any wars 🙏
Or capitalistic greed
0:23 - "So he needs some assistance"
*BONK*
everyone is amazing and unique just the way they are doesn’t matter how they look
Well done for funding his new wheelchair - what a lovely gesture!
Like the derversity in this video! Great to see that other than dog/ cat are saved from neglect and abuse!
I would volunteer 2 weeks every yearly quarter if I lived closer. I love animals and would be super excited to help! In the meantime, I will donate. The work you all do is incredible. ❤️
You're beautiful inside and out, sis! 🙌
There's definitely volunteer hours near where you live too!!
3:23 NO, OUR BATH :D
3:28 hahaha he loved the water, but the dryer not so much 😂
Very cool to see Frankie, i had a duck when i was young and unfortunately he died. Today this video give me a smile , and at 3:58 he was just want a huge hug for a great work.😇
Aww, little buddy! Reminds me of my ducks. ❤
wow never thought i’d have so much fun watching a duck have a bath, frankie is such an amazing duck and i cant wait to see some more farm animals on your channel
It's heartwarming to know others care for needy animals.
The thought that places such as Grey's Haven exist in this world warms my heart and feeds my soul. If I lived near there I'd volunteer in a nanosecond! I admire, and thank deeply, all animal rescue sanctuaries!
I love ducks! Every time I go to the pond I have to sketch or paint one
drawing ducks >>>>
My favorite video you have ever done! All animals’ lives need to be valued, not just the ones we deem as “pets”. Love your dedication & heart!
I would give him a bath everyday if I had Frankie! Seeing this again 2yrs later and I love him just as much now as I did the first time! I hope Frankie is alive and thriving!
This was so adorable especially when he got into the water it was like," hey this is my element. home sweet home!!!.. * flap flap fluff fluff flap flap*" lol hahaha 😆😊
I have been filled with the most overwhelming joy whilst watching this. I love that duck.
Everyone: Aww. Poor ducky is disabled.
Frankie: VROOM VROOOOOOM.
Thanks!
