The type of consumer that a chicken is, is an omnivore. Chickens consume all types of foods which make them omnivores.

Ducks do not make energy from sunlight so they are not producers. Ducks do not cause things to rot so they are not decomposers. Ducks also do not eat dead flesh so they are not scavengers. They eat plants and small fish so they are consumers.

A consumer is defined as something that eats living things, such as plants, animals, or fungi. A scavenger eats dead things. To the best of my knowledge, a duck eats manly underwater plants and a few small fish, so I would say it's a consumer.

A duck is considered to be a primary consumer. This is because they feed on the producers in an area.
