Hoax????

I've seen a lot of strange things in nature not to discount that completely...However, I also know that "back in the day" it was pretty common for people to make goofy taxidermy creatures like jackalopes and such.
 
The chick is believable, but the duck... I dunno. Usually when they have a deformity, such as four legs, they really look deformed, not "perfectly" formed like the duck is.
 
would be interesting to find out. The chick doesn't seem far fetched, a double embryo fused, it obviously didn't live to be a big chicken. The duck one looks crazy! But with the eyes not being perfectly set makes me think it's a possibility. Or it could be like the whole jackalope thing

Maybe I will have to look up the museum....
 
I'm sitting here eating olives and for some reason the pic on the post card made me want to puke. weird, I know.
 
Back in that time there was huge competition to see who could come up with the best fake freak. P. T. Barnum was largely responsible. Unless the postcard was made past 1930....
