Redditor Spongi thought that he was about to hatch a baby chick when out popped a little duckling, appropriately named Peeps, instead.
“Ducks are very social, raising a single duck is basically a death sentence, they will die of loneliness,” he wrote. So Spongi made it his mission to become the best duck single dad ever. He chronicled his journey, which included the discovery that a lumberjack beard serves as the perfect substitute for a mother’s wing.
