Thanks for supporting our friends at the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary.

"Mickey & Jo", named after Chicago Diner’s founders, are two Muscovy ducks who were rescued by an NYC resident.

Both were found distressed & in poor shape, showing telltale signs of having escaped from some sort of livestock operation.

Their upper bills were cut, they were malnourished and the female had a severely broken wing (which had to be amputated), most likely from being brutally kicked or struck with an object.

Jo was taken in for care to Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary. Mickey, who proved more elusive to the rescue team was brought in later.

The reaction of the pair when reunited was truly heart-warming. They ran to each other, clucking gently & ‘embraced’ by wrapping their necks around each other, much to the awe of the volunteer staff at WFAS. Mickey & Jo are now recovering and are inseparable.

Our new Office Manager Jodie travelled to New York and visited the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary this summer. She got to see the Chicago Diner sponsored muscovy ducks named "Mickey & Jo". They are doing well and are still inseparable. Their story here.
