[quote]Born with a backwards foot, Buttercup could only walk in great pain — until his owner came up with a novel idea for a duckie prosthetic.
When he was born in a high school biology lab in November last year, little Buttercup wasn't like all the other ducklings: his left foot was turned backwards, making getting around a bit of a trial for the little guy. Although his carer at the school worked on turning the foot around the right way, it couldn't quite get there.[/quote]

Delicious
I've heard a similar story, except the duck/waterbird in that case had lost the upper part of his beak.
So nice.
What did they do about the backwards foot? The story mentions trying to correct it beforehand but the prosthetic implies they amputated it.

Oops.
I guess that's my fault for only reading the quote in the OP.
3D printing: plastic guns and duck feet.
Bullshit. This is nothing but a load of quack medicine.
