✨🦆 Duck-date 🦆✨

Our lovely ducks have officially settled into their brand-new home, and they couldn’t be happier. With plenty of space to waddle, splash, and quack about, they’re already making themselves right at home. 🏡💦

It’s wonderful to see them enjoying their new surroundings – and we’re sure they’ll bring lots of smiles to everyone who visits. 💛

Come along, say hello, and watch them enjoying their new little paradise! 🌿

*huge thanks to Graham and Richard for their handy skills putting everything together!

🐥✨ A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped out at our Duck Bonanza today! ✨🐥

We’re thrilled to share that we raised £400 exactly towards building a fantastic new duck enclosure. 🎉

Special thanks to Leigh for inspiring us to get ducks in the first place and for generously loaning all the equipment so far. 💛 Also, a big shoutout to Michelle, Angela and Leigh for organising such a wonderful event, and to all the staff who worked so hard to make sure everything ran smoothly. 🙌

And of course, thank you to all our amazing residents for your incredible support — you made today truly special. 💕

We also had the joy of naming our feathered friends: please welcome Toffee, Willow, Pancake and Waffle! 🦆🦆🦆🦆 They can’t wait to move into their brand-new home thanks to all of you.

💚 Here’s to quacking good times ahead!

🦆💛 Why Ducks Make a Difference 💛🦆

Did you know our 4 Indian Runner ducks aren’t just adorable to watch – they also bring real benefits to our residents?

For our elderly community and those living with dementia, time spent with the ducks can:
✨ Spark joy, laughter and precious memories
✨ Provide calm, comfort and routine
✨ Encourage gentle activity and fresh air
✨ Create opportunities for social interaction and conversation
✨ Offer sensory stimulation – from their waddles and quacks to collecting their eggs

Indian Runner ducks are especially friendly, entertaining and excellent egg-layers – making them the perfect companions for our extra care community. 🥚🌱

By helping us build them a safe new home, you’re not just supporting our feathered friends – you’re also helping to bring happiness, connection and wellbeing to the people who care for them. 💕

🦆✨ Exciting news from the “duck nursery” at Bowland View!

For the past few weeks, we’ve been carefully tending to a clutch of precious duck eggs — turning them, keeping them cozy, and whispering the occasional “good morning” (because science says they might hear us and who doesn’t like a friendly hello?).

Today, we’ve spotted the very first signs of life — tiny cracks and soft tapping from inside! 🐣💛 It’s like they’re knocking to say, “Hey, we’re on our way!”

Now it’s a waiting game… any day now, these little fluffballs will be making their grand entrance into the world. Stay tuned for the hatch-day photos — We might just melt into a puddle of happy quacks. 🥹💦
