Wikipedia article

This article is about an older version of DF.
A small water bird. It has a long neck and powerful legs meant for swimming and diving.

A duck is a small Template:L. A male of the species is known as a "drake", and the young are known as "ducklings". It is one of the few domestic birds that can also be found as a wild population in the correct Template:L.

Ducks are the smallest of the common domestic poultry, so small that they need not be Template:L, and indeed cannot be. They take two years to grow to full size, and have a relatively short lifespan. These qualities make raising ducks a poor choice for a Template:L. However, on average, ducks lay the second most eggs of any domestic bird (8-13, exceeded only by Template:Ls' 10-14), and, like all domestic poultry, grow to adulthood in one year, making them a decent choice for Template:L.

Drakes do not breath fire, unlike their dragon brethren.
