The bond that a mother has with her baby is one that is strong in humans, pets, and wild animals.
Time and time again, we have seen animals "adopt" or take care of another animal – sometimes of an entirely different species, like the cat that helped nurse a baby deer. These can be some of the most heartwarming stories to see an animal finally get a shot at motherhood and another animal finally get a chance to have a family. So when I saw this story about an abandoned baby duck that had escaped from a duckling production factory, I absolutely fell in love.
This cute little duckling managed to sneak out of a factory that vaccinates ducks for mass production. A girl discovered her in the parking lot and decided to take her and give her a good home on her farm. What happened to the duck when she reached the farm? My heart melted.

This abandoned little duckling was discovered wandering in the factory parking lot and was quickly taken back to this girl's farm.
This chicken has been living on the farm for years. She doesn't hang out with the other chickens and has never been able to have chicks of her own. In fact, she has been spotted nurturing chestnuts, thinking they were her own eggs.
This brilliant girl introduced the duckling to this hopeful mother chicken by placing the two together.
After no time at all, the duckling decided to stay under the wing of the chicken, perhaps to keep warm.
Now the pair is totally inseparable, and the chicken recognizes the duckling as her very own child. Together, they roam the fields as a new, happy family.
