Comet

Comet the Duck

​Comet was a male Pekin duck who hatched in April of 2022. Comet was a very vocal duck who thought everyone was having a conversation with him. Comet grew up surrounded by our students and animals. Comet loved being the center of attention on the farm. He could often be found in the doorway of a stall while someone groomed a horse. In May 2023, the day after Hil’s mom had open heart surgery, Comet had a run in with a dog that almost ended him. Through prayer, help from a wonderful vet tech, and lots of bandaging over a couple months, he survived what we were afraid would kill him. But Comet had a will to live, and overcame the unthinkable. Comet loved visiting with clients at HTF and waddling around the farm from puddle to puddle after a soaking rain. Sadly, Comet’s body was beginning to decline. On November 18, 2024, we said so long to our beloved Pekin, Comet.
