Stumpy, the duck born with four legs, has found love

Stumpy, the duck born with four legs, is only three quarters the chap he used to be.

After catching one of his feet in chicken wire, he had to have the entire limb amputated.

But the accident turned out to be a blessing in disguise.



The new streamlined three-legged Stumpy can waddle much faster than before, enabling him to catch up with his lady friend Alice when he is feeling amorous.

And their owner believes it will not be long before the couple have a brood of ducklings to keep them on their toes.

"It is wonderful that Stumpy has found love," said Nicky Janaway, who runs the Warrawee Duck Farm in the New Forest with her husband Paul.
