    Ugly duckling

    Hey all! Can you spam me with pics of your ducklings in their various feathering phases? Ive tried googling what is normal but cant really find anything. My cute little fluffy ducklings have mutated into these creepy ugly ducklings with weird little half feathers and bald spots hahahaha.
