Ducks

The game Duck, Duck, Goose is believed to have originated in Sweden, known there as "Anka Anka Gråttan." It has been played for centuries and variations of the game can be found in different cultures around the world.

This is possibly a 'twisting' of the original phrase of having one's "Ducts on line" (from steamship days) - hence to have all your "Ducts on line", meant that you were all set, and going full speed ahead.

They love to anything right off the kitchen table!. they are great for real life garbage disposal. !!! they love all green veggies. Bread is terrible for them... you can feed them it but in very small small quantities.!! be careful!

Ducks are not amphibians but they are amphibious. They are at home on land as well as on the water. They cannot breath under water.

The value of a 12 gauge SKB Model Ducks Unlimited semi-automatic shotgun can vary depending on factors such as its condition, any unique features, and current market demand. It is recommended to consult with a firearms appraiser or check recent sales of similar firearms to get a more accurate estimate of its value.

This answer applies to domestic ducks; No, the occasional aberration occurs and the odd one is born albino, a state of being hatched without pigments of any color.

Other species and what is defined as a duck broadens the scope of the answer too far to answer easily.

Not generally. If bacteria enters the egg and destroys the developing baby, then no it will not survive.

This all depends on how big the crack is. If it is large and you can see inside then hell no, the bird is doomed by infection. Doesn't matter what kind of bird.

If the crack is only small/a hairline fracture then there is a hope under the right conditions. What is vital is that the rubbery membrane underneath the hard shell is intact. If this is intact there is actually quite a lot of hope. If the egg is cracked but you can see this membrane has not been broken then i would for extra safety and best possible chance of survival gently spray or wipe the shell with a germ killing barrier of hand sanitiser then cover the crack up with a smally square of masking tape.

If the crack is larger and the membrane is broken then the bird will most certainly perish. There is a small chance the bird under this scenario can survive if it are just about fully developed. You can quickly wrap the egg up in cloth and take it to the vet and sometimes birds can be saved by being extracted from the egg prematurely then put into intensive care. good luck

A runt duck is simply referred to as a runt, as "runt" is a term used to describe the smallest or weakest animal in a litter or group.

Shortly after WWII ended recently discharged members were issued these patches to be worn on the right breast of their service uniforms so they wouldn't be pestered by overly officious military and civil police as suspected deserters and a convenience for the often forgotten conscientious law enforcement officials. This was necessary because so few veterans posessed civilian clothing for traveling back to their homes of record; and there was little of it for sale on the market due to the fact that the garment industry had been geared for wartime production of military clothing for the prevoius three and a half years. The cloth patch emblem is a copy of the metal pin in gold (actually yellow thread) embroidered on a 3.75" wide x 2" tall lozenge shaped background that is ideally the same color as the shirt/blouse it was to be worn on. It is quite handsome and stiking in appearance. Khaki for khaki uniforms, brick red for the army/marine/seabee olive tunic, and presumably black or navy for a seaman's dress blues. These black/navy ones may have been scarce as I've seen WWII vintage sailor's jumpers with the red diamond sewn on. These red ones almost certainly must have been issued by the Navy when black wasn't available, as I can't imagine a newly discharged seaman buying one even if they'd been available, which I'm sure they weren't.. The lozenge edges have a yellow embroidered border. The metal pins were in short supply as the copper and gold necessary for their production had been diverted for the production of essential war materials. Issue of the pins would have been inapproprate, in any case, as they were intended for wear on civilian clothing and, at 5/8" diameter, would have been too small to be easily noticed by law enforcement personnel. These patches are still being produced and are readilly available on the internet - just google: "ruptured duck patch" on your favorite search engine. Several sites have the khaki patch and a black "WWII VETERAN" hat patch that can be cut down and appliqued to a memorial dress blue veterans uniform. A zigzag sewing machine is a great help here. The pins too are available new so you don't have to rely on the supply of expensive vintage collector pins to get yours. For those of you/us who maintain a personnal veterans or campaign uniform as a keepsake, I highly recommend the additon of one of these patches to your dress canvas. No, you don't have to be a WWII veteran or to have been issued one to wear it as anyone who was honorably discharged rates one. Don't let any of those superannuated WWII vets tell you "you ain't authorized;" your DD-214 is your "authorization" - so, tuck your swagger stick under your arm and strut your stuff. Also, we vets don't have to be cowed by a bunch of politically correct draft dodgers who hauled ass for Canada when the goin' got tough. Wear the pin on the lapel of your blazer or suit coat or as a tie tack. Happy swaggering. . . E.J. SORENSEN,CPO USN Retired

A lame-duck session refers to a period of time after an election has taken place but before the newly elected officials take office. During this time, outgoing officials who were not re-elected may still have authority to carry out their duties until the new officials are sworn in.

An incubator provides a controlled environment with a stable temperature and humidity that mimics a bird's nest. This is crucial for the development of the embryo inside the egg, ensuring consistent conditions for successful hatching. The incubator also protects the eggs from external factors that could harm them during the incubation process.

they do not lay there eggs in water but i heard that one duck does

it was found in 2006. i think platapus does im not sure but any other find of

duck does not lay eggs in water

I have 2 muscovy girls and 2 khaki Campbell drakes and once my daughter scared my muscovies into our pond. When I stepped in to correct my daughter's behaviour I discovered an egg in the pond! It had only a semi formed shell and I think it was SCARED out of her and not a natural occurance, and it has never happened again.

One of my Indian Runners, I think, laid in the pond this morning so now I am wondering if this is why I think they are not laying, how many more are there?

Ducks in the wild build nests along the water, in cattails, high grass or even under a tree nearby. I have never observed one nest in water...but the nesting season is approaching, you never know!

they make a sound like a wolf howling for more info go to http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/birds/common-loon.html

A call duck is a small breed of duck. They look exactly like bigger breeds of duck exept they are smaller. For examole, some look like little mallards, pekins, rouens, etc. But I don't think they have a miniature muscovy or runner duck yet.

Yes, straw can be used as bedding for ducks. It provides insulation and absorbency, keeping the ducks comfortable and helping to manage moisture in their living area. Just make sure the straw is clean and dry to maintain a healthy environment for the ducks.

Peking duck is a popular dish in China due to its crispy skin, tender meat, and savory flavor. The traditional way of roasting the duck to achieve a perfect balance of texture and taste has made it a favorite choice for special occasions and celebrations. Additionally, Peking duck has a long history and cultural significance in Chinese cuisine, further adding to its appeal.

Mallard ducks may be eaten by predators such as foxes, raccoons, owls, hawks, and larger birds of prey. Their eggs and ducklings are vulnerable to predators like crows, gulls, and snakes. Additionally, humans are also a threat to mallard ducks through hunting and habitat destruction.

You would most likely find Campbell's Watercress Duck Gizzard Soup in China, as watercress and duck gizzard are common ingredients in Chinese cuisine. Campbell's may have produced this unique flavor to cater to the Chinese market where such ingredients are popular.

One of the best questions that I have seen in a while. This question can be taken quite literally however one must take into accounts the different types of duck. For example you have the mexican duck. Thus ducks speak in different languages.

Quick guide to speaking duck.

Mexican duck -"quack"

translation: eh ese wazzup

French duck -"Queck"

translation: "steeoopid amerwicon"

American duck: "moo"

translation: "quack"

it will most likely fly off, but if it's one of those protective kinds it will saty in the water..only if the predator is on land
