I once saw what was left of a two headed calf after they'd had to cut one head off to get it out. Not very nice!

I was thinking just the same.

If it turns out to be a happy duck, and if it gets some meat on the front legs, what an excellent breeding trait.

Is it more likely to be a mutation or a chimera* though? *Roughly, like non separated twins or 'blended' embryos.
