Nothing according to my 12-year-old. I'd say a horse.

NoNeedToArgue · 11/08/2018 18:05

What's worse than a dry orange?

JellySlice · 11/08/2018 18:06

A duck with steamed pancakes, shredded spring onion, cucumber and plum sauce.

DickensianHysteric · 11/08/2018 18:06

An elephant.

Goldenbug · 11/08/2018 18:07

horse - Nope. Too hard to pick up and move about. You need trailers for them and stuff. Ducks are much more portable.

elephant - Worse than horses as far as transportation goes. Also really dull plumage.

You shouldn't feed ducks pancakes. Not sure about the other stuff.

Three or more indian runners

Or rats, we started with 3, now have 10

Playmobilpeacock · 11/08/2018 18:10

DH says 2 ducks.

Both DC said a chicken.

BIWI · 11/08/2018 18:10

Kittens.

I win.

tentontruck · 11/08/2018 18:11

A peacock.

Or a plate of halloumi.

Goldenbug · 11/08/2018 18:11

Well obviously more ducks is better than a single mono-duck.

Rats - pretty good, but can scare people. (I like them though!)

A swan according to my DC

HemanOrSheRa · 11/08/2018 18:11

A teeny baby goat in pyjamas.

doormatof · 11/08/2018 18:12

three Indian runners?? what?

DickensianHysteric · 11/08/2018 18:12

Oh, I know. A hedgehog!

ginghambox · 11/08/2018 18:13

Two ducks.

Goldenbug · 11/08/2018 18:13

Chickens - Wrong. Too common. EVERYBODY has a chicken.

Peacocks - No. They try so hard it's embarrassing.

My 2yo calls ducks 'kack kack's'

RJnomore1 · 11/08/2018 18:15

A pig in Wellington boots.

Although a duck in Wellington boots would be better than that.

tentontruck · 11/08/2018 18:17

Just to be clear, are we talking the feathery pond variety or the plastic yellow bath type?

Goldenbug · 11/08/2018 18:17

Kittens - No. They grow into cats, ignore you and poop everywhere.

Halloumi - Well, as good as ducks when cut into chips and fried, but not better.

A swan - No. Too unwieldy. If you came at me armed with a swan, before you even unfolded it's neck I would have ducked you in the stomach.

OP posts:
tentontruck · 11/08/2018 18:20

In that case fried halloumi chips eaten in the company of a charming and attentive duck.

Goldenbug · 11/08/2018 18:20

Hedgehog - Yes! Well done! Somebody's got the right idea.

Pig in Boots - Yes. (Mysterious! What was he buying?!)
Pig in wellington boots - Nope.

And it's a regular feathered duck.
