I was interested to see this creature since like a mythical dragon it has four legs and wings, I wonder it the mutation breeds true... Six limbed monster Posted by Bella Bee (Member # 7027) on :
Aw. That is monstrous cute.
It might signify that the end of the world is nigh, but it's probably just a random mutation - which is something of a pity. The world could do with more duck legs .

I'm surprised poultry farms haven't been trying to get this off the ground artificially.

It would be more profitable if your chickens had four legs, assuming they were all functional or at least big and delicious...

Duck is mighty tasty, although too greasy to have as often as chicken.

Does anybody else keep thinking of the mad net ramblings in Fire Upon the Deep when they see this thread title?

There used to be a pub, and might still be, in South Royalton, Vermont (home of Vermont Law School) called the Four Legged Duck. The place was named after the four legged duck preserved in a bar of Formaldehyde that was prominently displayed behind the bar, which had hatched at one of the local farms. I wonder how rare this is?
