He knows what he's getting into. We spoke to Julie, who told us what it was like watching a duckling and tiny chick become obsessed with her fiancé — and the amazing thing that happened once the duck flew away ❤️

00:00My fiancé said, no more ducks.
00:16At the beginning of October, a lady found this tiny duck abandoned.
00:20She'd asked if anyone could help.
00:22We have raised many ducks over the years.
00:24So we immediately got in touch.
00:27This little duckling was very special.
00:30She was like this little dog that got so excited to see me.
00:35Our dog, Ben, really loved this duck as well.
00:39He would hang out with the duck and watch the duck play.
00:44The chicken came into the picture the exact way.
00:49When we introduced the chicken to the duck,
00:52they immediately formed a special bond with each other.
00:56They're little butts.
00:58They're so cute.
01:00Oh my goodness.
01:02They loved chasing me.
01:04My fiancé, Jay, absolutely fell in love with them.
01:08They brought a lot of joy and comfort into my life.
01:17As they grew older, they became more attached.
01:20They spent all their time together.
01:23Both animals were abandoned, but we never realized how strong the bond would be.
01:29Excuse me, what are you guys doing?
01:31Ben has always shown a love to them.
01:34He was kind of like an older brother, and they really made me so happy.
01:41Our plan with any wild animal is to release it once they are capable of living on their own.
01:46Oh, nice, nice, nice.
01:48The duck started to learn to fly, and the chicken would try and follow the duck.
01:53She would often fly away and come back to visit.
02:05My emotions were all over the place, and we still don't have the answers.
02:12The chicken looked lonely.
02:14I saw a chicken laying beside Ben's old soccer ball.
02:18The soccer ball looked just like the duck, and my heart broke for her.
02:23She missed the duck.
02:25We expected her to join the other chickens, but instead we noticed she started following Ben around.
02:32She had always been a kind, reliable friend.
02:35She began drinking out of Ben's water bowl.
02:38And eventually Ben started following her around too.
02:41They formed a special bond that provided her the companionship that she needed.
02:47You couldn't help but smile any time they were together.
02:51She didn't feel alone anymore.
02:53The chicken had found comfort in Ben's company.
02:58It was such an amazing feeling knowing how Ben was so caring and gentle towards the chicken.
03:03The future looks good for us all.
03:05We will continue to support and care for our animals,
03:08and allow Ben and the chicken to continue to enjoy each other's company.
