[S3E21] The One With A Chick And A Duck
After watching the news, Joey decides to adopt a baby chick for Chandler. Chandler is not too crazy about the chick until he spends an entire day taking care of it. He then lashes out with Joey, much like a married couple does, about how Joey's not spending enough time with the chick and that its arrival is only the cause of a lot of fighting between the two. Chandler resolves to take the chick back, but not only does he fail to return her (because he finds out that they would kill her if nobody else is willing to adopt her), but he apparently also comes back home with a fully-grown duck.
[S3E21] The One With A Chick And A Duck
Pete offers Monica a job in his new restaurant, but she is hesistant to take it if he's still got a crush on her. Meanwhile, Ross skips an important engagement to take care of Rachel, and Joey and Chandler adopt a baby chick and a duck.
Joey: Yeah, I figure they'll love it at the new house, you know? It has that big backyard. And then, when they get old, they can go to that special farm that Chandler took the other chick and duck to.

The chick and the duck died of unknown reasons, likely age or eating something they shouldn't have. Joey was told they went to live on a farm because Joey is a giant man-child and can't be expected to handle the truth.
Chandler specifically kept the chick, and the duck, because he's against euthanasia. Instead of letting the chick be put down, he kept it, and ended up saving the duck, which was already mature/adult (not a duckling). He would never have them put down short of terminal illness or crippling age. He also wouldn't let Monica kill them, not that Monica would ever do that either. Neither of their characters are that heartless.
Joey is smitten by a video of baby chicks that he sees on TV so he adopts one. When Chandler insists he take it back, he adopts a baby duck, too. Pete offers Monica a job at his restaurant, but he is still clearly in love with her and she can't decide whether to accept or not. 041b061a72
