For waterfowl hunting in the United States, non-toxic shot is required. Common types of approved shotgun pellets include steel, bismuth, and tungsten-based pellets. Lead shot is prohibited due to environmental concerns and the potential harm to waterfowl and other wildlife. Always check local regulations for specific requirements and restrictions.

A shotgun wound is a type of injury caused by a shotgun firing ammunition at close range. The high impact and spread of pellets can cause severe damage to tissues, bones, and organs. Treatment typically involves surgery to remove any bullets or pellets and repair the affected areas.
Generally "Pellets" or "Shot" contained in "Shells". There are also solid shot "Slugs" similarly contained in "Shells". I'd use Shells ie "8 shotgun shells", unless you are specifying exactly the type.
The number of pellets in a shotgun shell can vary depending on the gauge and type of load. For example, a standard 12-gauge shell may contain anywhere from 8 to 1,000 pellets, with birdshot loads typically having hundreds of small pellets and buckshot loads containing fewer, larger pellets. The specific load determines the exact count, so it's essential to check the shell's specifications for accurate information.
A standard 12-gauge shotgun shell is typically loaded with either 7.5 or 8 shot, which refers to the size of the pellets. In a standard 12-gauge shell, there can be approximately 1 ounce of shot, containing around 300 to 400 individual pellets, depending on the specific size and type of shot used. Therefore, when referring to "pallets," it seems there might be some confusion, as "pallet" is not a term typically associated with shotgun ammunition. If you meant "pellets," the answer would be around 300 to 400 pellets per shell.
When patterning a shotgun, a sufficient percentage of pellets within a 30-inch circle is typically around 70% or more. This percentage indicates a well-distributed shot pattern, which is crucial for effective shooting. However, specific requirements may vary depending on the type of shooting, such as hunting or competitive shooting.

That depends on what type of waterfowl it is. A baby duck is called a duckling. A baby goose is a gosling. A baby swan can be either a cygnet or a flapper.
