Chicken is like another term for scaredy-cat, as in afraid of something. Duck on the other hand is like a warning, as in, "Watch out!" or "Careful!" Calling someone chicken can be considered bullying, while yelling 'Duck' at someone is warning them, usually at an incoming impact, object, or force. Ducking would be to bend over.

Example - "Why don't you want to go to the haunted house? Are you a chicken!?"

Example2 - "Hey! They're throwing rocks over there! Duck!"
