Ducks and chicks are next on everyone’s list of cutest Easter animals. When I was a teenager, I gave my sister a duckling for Easter, but I accidentally stepped on it and killed it. She was inconsolable! I had to drive her to the feed store when they opened the next day to get her another duck. Actually, I think I bought her 2 more. Anyway, I think it really stuck in her mind, because she now has a small farm where she breeds chickens, ducks, and turkeys. That’s why I made a duck potholder for her. Take a look at some adorable Easter bird designs:
