Meet two little ducky. They were born in a loving family, that caring and cheerful.
This two love to eat cupcake that their mommy made for them and love to run around like a little monkey.
To be honest, when I made this two, I was having an idea to make another version of baby chicken that has a long leg and cute tiny mouth. After I finished them. I ran to show my hubby and said ” guess what am I making ” He stopped to thinking a bit and answer “they are cute duck”.
Oh well , here they come the twin ducky! So tell me what you think about them.
