September 26, 2008: Ducken or Chuck
 

A farmer bought some ducks and added them to his own, brace of ducks, flock of ducks, flush of ducks, paddling of ducks, raft of ducks, team of ducks, as you wish.
Anyway, after a couple of weeks he noticed one duck wasn't joining in the ducky games, and never went near the water. Closer inspection revealed this duck had chicken feet.

I suspect, the webs just didn't grow for some reason.

So, is this a ducken or a chuck?

Mutant!

I wonder whether it should be cooked as duck or chicken.

Aye, watch thou for the mutant.

Well it certainly isn't a dolphin.

This or this:

What the Cluck?

RABBIT SEASON!

eh hem, i think you meant:

WABBIT SEASON

If only it was turkey X duck we could call him a turk or a duckey.

He doesn't fly or go in the water. He's a ground chuck.

It's a South American duck that is known to swim in piranha-infested waters.

Along the Fremont Canal in Seattle, there's a flavor of waterfowl that does not have webbed feet -- floats on the water, but no webs. The SPU math & computer science building is right along the canal and I used to feed them sometimes before going in to class.

I used to know the name of these things, but can't seem to dredge it up.

BigV?

Are you thinking of coots? They have lobed, not webbed, feet.

Very possibly. IIRC, they were black with a touch of red on the neck or wings.
