A 4 legged duck was just born in the New Forest in England.
Apparently it has a 2nd pair of legs other than the pair it runs about on and is happy to use them as stabilisers.
Comments from creationists?

I wanted a link but it doesnt seem to have got in the news yet. I heard it on BBC Radio 4 which is very conservative station.

The duck is called 'Stampy'

Not the whole species? Oh right - so evolution means a whole species have to have the same macromutation all instantaneously... lol - please learn what evolution is so you can see how ignorant you sound.

sources please, if only because some pictures would be neato.
anyway, if this mutation is viable and the girls still like stampy and the gene gets passed on and... and... and... we might have a future for four-legged ducks ;)

There have been many calfs born with 2 heads. I imagine that event happens in other animals as well. Probably caused by inbreeding or chemicals in the air, soil, or given by the vet. At any rate it is not good and the animal usually does not live for long.

Happens sometimes. Man was breeding animals long before evolutionist decided it was the way thing work. The Bible set out cleanliness laws that covered infection at least 2000 years before science and doctors did. As long as you don't think you are seeing the beginnings of six limbed ducks as the rule I think we aren't as far apart as you might think.

Have any other such ducks been in wide spread around the world... if not it is called a mutation or adaption, not the whole species becoming four-legged.

Man's abuse of the earth and it's raw materials has caused a lot of perversion of creation (Revelation 11:18), just like the taint of sin changed mankind until God fixes it in His time.

This probably is not created by God but by man and the damage that man has done to the environment, it is a mutation.

probably a gene mutation from pesticides in the local watering holes.
Or a twin ducky that never developed fully
