What a lucky duck!

I want a duck now! I love her name - Bibit.

Bibit standing on one leg is my fav!

It's so much better to kill and roast the duck when it's full grown!?!?! Unless you're a vegetarian, stop acting so superior !

I have zero experience when it comes to this but it does sound disgusting & horrifying all at the same time. The only thing I have to add is that if she did sneak it out maybe she did it before they had a chance to boil it. Which brings the horrifying point up again. I could NEVER eat that !!!!!

This is so cute! I have had a duckling once, but we couldn't keep her for too long because we didnt have a pond. Me and my dad went to the feed store to buy some rabbit food, when we saw that they were selling ducklings! I peered in while my dad was purchasing the feed, and saw that one (a small golden one) was sitting in the corner covered in blood, and missing most of skin on her wing. All the others were picking at her injury! I showed my dad, and he decided that we should buy her, with the intention of putting her down....so we got in the car and he called my mom and told her the situation, to which she firmly rejected the idea of putting the poor thing down, and wanted to help her to recovery. After a week or so, her wing had gotten a lot better, but she was sooo lonely! My mom came home one day with a lil black and grey little friend for her! After about 4 months or so, her wing had made significant progress and we handed the two of them over to my aunt, who had some ducklings from the same litter, and a pond. They are now full grown and have a very happy luttle life with a flock of other ducks. The end! Btw her name was lucky and her lil freinds name was toke

Must. Have. A. Bibit!

The baby duck is so fluffy!

Ducklings are just about as cute as anything. Grown up ducks are excellent repellent for any vermin smaller then a cat. For real. They eat insects, frogs, small lizards, small snakes, rats if they can catch them. Ducks eat almost anything. And yes. I have seen our ducks eat all that.

This is false story

My day is made! Instagram @daily_daisy_duck.

soo cuute!! but don't they poop everywhere?

I am interested. How did she take care of its poo poo?

Such a cutie pie!

It just me or it is weird to eat friend's (bibit's) eggs.

Me likey this story

This duck was quite lucky not to hatch with deformed legs. The egg needs to be turned regularly for a healthy duckling to emerge and this often happens when humans attempt to hatch ducklings. A mother duck does the turning on instinct. Perhaps this owner took the egg out to look at it often enough to get the same effect.

She may have talked to the place about purchasing one before it was cooked just so she could have a live egg. Anyway. How does she keep the duck from pooping all over her home?

As a Filipino, I want to correct something. Balut are boiled eggs of a developing embryo of a chick or duck. There's no way in hell that a fertilized duck embryo would still be alive after boiling it for several minutes.

So I view this article, and head on to the next one i.e. "12 Crucial Archaeology Findings Of 2018 That Have Left Historians Puzzled". Lo and behold, image found under "#2" is coincidental but apt for this article as a history lesson

Balut eggs are cooked. How is this story true?

My pet is a cockatiel. One day I want to have a duck ! That's so cute! :))

isn't it supposed to be boiled?

If the embryo is eaten alive then it's not balut. Balut eggs are boiled first.

Lucky duckling :-). To be more precise though what Lim bought was 'trung vit lon.' I'm surprised she got it as a raw egg. Balut in the Philippines is almost always sold cooked, so there's no way they'd hatch.

Beautiful - how can people eat the live young ones in the egg?

Omnivores and their dissonance. Weak.
