The Chick and the Duck were, oddly enough, a chick and a duck owned by Chandler Bing and Joey Tribbiani in the American television sitcom Friends that became a running gag over many years.

Joey originally bought the chick from an animal sanctuary as a gift for Chandler after seeing - and misunderstanding - a news report about people who buy chicks and then find they cannot properly care for them. Phoebe encouraged Chandler to return the chick but Chandler, discovering that the chick was in danger of being put to sleep, did not have the heart and returned home with the chick and a duck. It turned out that, after hitting a few bumps (such as getting the chick stuck in the VCR) the two were perfectly capable of caring for the birds, and they were well loved.

Chandler named the chick "Yasmine," presumably after Yasmine Bleeth, an actress on Baywatch, a television program he and Joey frequently watched.

After about Season 5 the animals disappeared, and in the final episode it emerged that they had died of old age some time ago, but Chandler and the rest of the group had lied to Joey to save his feelings, telling him that they had gone to a farm where they were very happy but could not be visited.

Also in the final episode Joey bought Chandler a new duckling and chick as a housewarming gift (Joey named them "Duck Jr." and "Chick Jr." respectively). In the end Joey kept them himself and, again after a few bumps (this time they got stuck in the foosball table), he even considered getting a goose, but Chandler quickly discouraged him.
