[@danielleking262]

@@grey6703 only just a few episodes ago, I don't know the Episode number or name of it

[@MDR2657]

I wouldn't really say it's an unborn body of a duckling given the fact that it's not a live birth situation. Since the egg is laid and not carried in the bird, the bird then hatches. One could say unhatched, but that doesn't sound good. It's typically referred to as a partially incubated duck egg, with the embryo only partially developing into a duckling. Oh well. Semantics. Balut tastes so much better than a century egg though. 😂😂

[@MYSTERYBLACKROSE]

​@mdrieber It's a dead baby bird. Unborn not born. I have not hatched so on. Human Unborn children are not fully developed, but they still have bodies. They haven't been born. Making them Unborn humans or in this case ducks.
