If you like to eat duck and want drumsticks then this is the duck for you. I'd love to see a video of it walking and swimming.

But extra greasy dark meat. It makes amends to you.

LONDON - Webbed feet run in Stumpy's family, but a rare mutation has left the eight-day-old duckling with two nearly full-sized legs behind the two he runs on.

Nicky Janaway, a duck farmer in New Forest, Hampshire, 95 miles southwest of London, unveiled the duckling to reporters on Saturday.

"It was absolutely bizarre. I was thinking 'he's got too many legs' and I kept counting 'one, two, three, four,'" Janaway said.

Stumpy would probably not survive in the wild, but Janaway, who runs the Warrawee Duck Farm in New Forest says he is doing well.

"He's eating and surviving so far and he is running about with those extra legs acting like stabilizers," Janaway said.

The mutation is rare, but cases have been recorded across the world. One duckling named Jake was born in Queensland, Australia, in 2002 with four legs but died soon after.

With twice as many legs as should rightfully be attached to it.

Are you saying all deformed things should be seen as "creepy"?

If so, why? And keep in mind, I was born with only 9 fingers.

Nah, unless the duck escapes, he'll most likely look dead when he grows up cus of the duck farmer :(

If so, why? And keep in mind, I was born with only 9 fingers.You I would find creepy no matter how many fingers you (don't) have.

And no, not necessarily "creepy" and certainly not "all deformed things" - but if it was a human baby with four legs I wouldn't exactly coo "Aww, how cute!" over it either.

I lied, I have all 10. *shrugs*
So you would shake my hand knowing there should be a thumb there?

If I ever see a baby with four legs, I'm going to take pictures. Lots of pictures.

Would you like me to take you to the Mütter some day?

No wai.
I wouldn't shake your hand no matter how many thumbs.

If I ever see a baby with four legs, I'm going to take pictures. Lots of pictures. Why's that? Because it's so cute? Or some other reason?

Would you like me to take you to the Mütter some day?To the what?
