Meanwhile at the rescue...We have THREE broody hens occupying our TWO nesting boxes.

If you're wondering how that math works, so are we.

One hen has claimed the left box. Two hens have somehow crammed themselves into the right box, with one literally hanging halfway out like she's paying rent by the square inch.

None of them are laying eggs.
None of them are raising chicks.
They are simply committed to making sure no one else can use the nesting boxes.

The rest of the flock would like to file a formal complaint.

So we're hoping to add a few more nesting boxes and make life a little easier for the hens who actually came to work.

If you'd like to help, donations toward lumber, hardware, feed, and daily care are always appreciated!

Because apparently this week's rescue challenge isn't horses, ducks, or medical bills...

It's three tiny feathered squatters conducting a hostile takeover of the real estate market. 🐔🏠😂

Every dollar helps keep Creekside going and helps us care for the animals who call it home. ❤️

It's already a scorching 96° here in South Carolina today, and Doodle has made it very clear she has no interest in waiting her turn. 😂

Hand-feeding? Too slow. A polite handful? Absolutely not. Doodle's current opinion is that she deserves the entire scoop.

She's spending the day cooling off by the pond, supervising snack distribution, and reminding everyone that rescue animals often come with very big personalities. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who supports Creekside Farm & Equine Rescue. Your donations help provide feed, care, and plenty of snacks for characters like Doodle—who apparently believes patience is for other ducks.

While the guineas were busy sounding the alarm because Izzy dared to lay down in her own yard, Her Royal Highness was simply enjoying a sunny afternoon on the soft grass she loves so much.

What looks like a horse taking a nap is actually the result of years of care.

Izzy came to us with severe hoof neglect that caused permanent damage. She will require lifelong management and rehabilitation, and the soft ground in the yard is the most comfortable place for her to spend her days. So that's exactly where she lives—24/7.

This is what your donations support.
Not just feed and farrier visits. Not just vet care. They support sanctuary animals like Izzy who aren't "fixed" in a few months. They support the years of care, comfort, and specialized management needed to give neglected animals the quality of life they deserve.

Today, that means a soft patch of grass, warm sunshine, and the freedom to nap without a care in the world.

(Unfortunately, nobody explained that last part to the guineas. 😂)

❤️ Thank you for helping horses like Izzy get the forever care they need.

A double-edged sword so to speak. Yes, the Mexican border is closed to slaughter transport. No, Canada is not. However we've seen MANY "rescues" pushing for urgent donations for kill pen pulls. Once again - do your due diligence. Know what happens to that horse once you donate. Don't take what they promote at face value. Two VERY well known "rescues" rake in millions of dollars every year, just to turn around and euthanize the horses for fixable issues! Why? Because the initial push for donations is where they pad their pockets. More space = more pulls = more money. They can't pull if they're spending 6+ months rehabbing a horse with neglected hooves or "temperament issues". And look at what they're pulling - the worst. The largest. The ones that get views and shares. It's all a marketing scheme to generate revenue. Many of them work directly with kill buyers.

This is one of the many reasons we decided to step back from the "kill pen" scene and focus on helping locally. Again, we're simply urging everyone to be mindful of where your hard-earned donations are going ❤️❤️

We were able to make a much-needed feed run today. ❤️

This run covered:
10 bags of Ultium Senior
3 bags of Big Red Complete
2 bags of Flock Maker
Total paid: $428.05

Before making this purchase, we personally contributed into the rescue account to cover the dog food and half of the flock feed. All of our dogs are rescues — every single one — and when we took them in, we made a personal commitment to their care.

The horse grain was the largest need today, and recent donations helped make that possible. Even with our personal contribution added in, this feed run used the full balance we had available.

Our next urgent need is hay within the next couple of days. A hay run is $225, and that’s what we need to cover next.

This is the honest side of rescue. Feed and hay disappear fast, and the needs keep coming whether donations do or not. We are doing everything we can on our end, and every bit of help truly matters.

If anyone is able to help toward the $225 hay run, we would be so grateful. Every dollar, every share, and every direct feed store donation helps.

We know everyone is stretched thin, and we never take help for granted. Thank you for continuing to show up for them with us.

👀Wait for it!!!!!!

PLOT TWIST: Doodle Duck is, in fact, a duck. 🦆

When Doodle first arrived, she wanted absolutely nothing to do with the pond. Every time we put her in the water, she'd march right back out and go looking for her chicken friends.

We were convinced she hated being a duck.

Turns out, she just didn't know how.

Over the last few days, Mama and Daddy Mallard seem to have taken Doodle under their wing and taught her the finer points of duck life.

Now she's swimming, splashing, diving for bugs, and living her absolute best duck life.

Sometimes all it takes is a little patience, a little confidence, and a couple of good teachers.

We're so proud of you, Doodle. ❤️

BREAKING NEWS:

Doodle Duck has undergone a dramatic career change.

More details tomorrow. 🦆😂

Doodle Duck (yes that's her name)...has a confession to make:

She doesn't really like ponds.

Now before the duck community revokes her membership card, let us explain.

Doodle is an Indian Runner duck. She enjoys a nice bath in her water bowl. She enjoys being clean. She enjoys following her chicken friends around.

What she does NOT enjoy is swimming in the pond.

Every single time we put her in the water, she hops right back out and power-walks away like she has somewhere important to be.

She's a girl on a mission to get AWAY!

Sadly, Doodle was abandoned at a neighborhood pond, likely because someone assumed a duck belongs on a pond and would be perfectly fine there.

The truth is that domestic ducks don't belong in the wild. They rely on people for food, shelter, and protection. Being dropped off at a pond isn't "setting them free"—it's often a death sentence.

Thankfully, Doodle's story had a happy ending. A kind resident noticed she needed help, and now she's safe, spoiled, and living her best life... mostly on dry land.

If Doodle's determined march away from the pond made you smile, please consider supporting Creekside Rescue. Every donation helps us give animals like Doodle the second chance they deserve. ❤️

Thursday morning update...

A few kind people helped us earlier this week, and we’re incredibly thankful for that support. It truly helped us catch our breath for a moment.

But rescue life moves fast, and the costs don’t slow down.

Right now, we have $257 left in the rescue account.

One hay run (5 bales) costs $225.
Feed is around $30 a bag, and we go through two bags every 3 days.

The truth is, rescues like ours don’t have large donors quietly covering expenses behind the scenes. We don’t receive grants. We don’t have corporate sponsors. Most of the time, even with over 5,000 followers, we may only receive a handful of donations when we post.

That isn’t meant to make anyone feel bad. It’s just the honest reality of small rescue work.

Everything here survives because ordinary people occasionally step in when they can. A bag of feed. A share. A small donation. A kind word. It all matters more than people realize.

The animals don’t know any of this, of course. They just know breakfast is supposed to happen every morning.

We’ve already closed intake so we can focus on responsibly caring for the animals already here, but even with intake closed, the daily expenses continue nonstop.

Hay.
Feed.
Shavings.
Repairs.
Vet care.

It adds up quickly.

If anyone would like to help:
• Feed donations can be called directly into Roger’s Feed
• Tractor Supply orders can be placed online for pickup in Mauldin or Woodruff, SC
• Hay support is always appreciated
• Even simply sharing this post helps us reach new people

We’ll keep doing what we always do: stretching every dollar, working hard, and making sure the animals here stay safe, fed, and cared for.

Thank you for continuing to stand beside this little rescue.
