Introducing Scrags, the seriously ugly duckling shunned by his siblings

His eyes bulge and his bald head is a mass of lumps and bumps.



There's just no way of ducking the issue - little Scrags is one ugly duckling.

While his brothers and sisters preen their beautiful yellow downy fluff, he barely has two feathers to rub together.

And while they glide serenely across the duck pond, one-month-old Scrags can only watch enviously from the banks.

Unfortunately, the young misfit didn't take like the proverbial duck to water.

When his owner Lara Madge tested out the brood's water wings, Scrags floundered about until she fished him out.
