Monotremes include platypuses and echidnas. Of these, the platypus does not have a pouch of any type.

Female echidnas (and, occasionally, the males as well) develop a rudimentary pouch each breeding season. The pouch is really just a flap of skin into which the female echidna lays and incubates the egg. As soon as the young echidna begins to develop its spines, it is transferred into a burrow.

No, the platypus does not have a pouch. It is one of the egg laying mammals, or monotremes, whereas the pouched mammals are the marsupials. The mother platypus curls up around the eggs to incubate them, and after they are hatched, she tends them in a chamber at the end of her burrow.

Having said that, however, the platypus's fellow monotreme, the echidna, does develop a flap of skin during breeding season which functions as a pouch.

No. Ducks are birds, not marsupials, so they do not have pouches.
