ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, N.C. — Code enforcement officers have a job that's no joke. They're responsible for making sure buildings and businesses are up to snuff.
But it turns out, one Rockingham County officer is just as serious about his feathered and furry friends.
Animal Control brought two ducks into the Rockingham County Animal Shelter recently. But before the shelter even had a chance to worry about where they were going to go they were already adopted!
County code enforcement officer Bricen Wall decided to adopt the ducks almost as soon as he saw them.
Wall and his wife, Chasity have their own farm in Mayodan. Wall says they've lived there for two years and he grew up on a farm.
Their daughter is in charge of naming the animals. So the ducks will join a family including "Turk" the turkey, "Pikachu" the chicken, and "Hammy" the pig. That will also include three other ducks, two more turkeys, a peahen, four geese, and 39 other chickens.
"They'll enjoy loving care at Cedar Farm," said Wall. He says the ducks will get to play in a pond, a creek, and be pasture-raised.
Take a look at Wall and his new friends below!
