Real Life Ugly Duckling.

Scrags is one ugly duckling:

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.

He can’t swim, either:

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

‘Scrags flailed his legs and wings about and I did not dare let him go because if I had I’m sure he would have sunk to the bottom,’ she said.

But people (and his sibling ducks) sure love him:

Mrs Madge, 36, said: ‘People either laugh at him or cannot look at him at all. But he was never rejected by the other ducklings because of the way he looks.

‘In fact, the others love him so much they look after him and snuggle around him when they sit down.
