Why is the flintlock musket bad for shooting fowl?
I can not say it would be "Bad" to hunt fowl with a musket, it would be a very long day if it were loaded with single ball. If loaded with shot and wad and a smooth bore it would differ little from a purpose built fowler other than weight. I have hunted turkey, dove and squirrel over the years with a Charleville musket loaded with shot and had no problems at all.
How is a musket rifle loaded?
To load a musket rifle, the shooter first ensures the firearm is pointed away from themselves and others. They then pour a measured amount of black powder down the barrel, followed by a paper or cloth patch containing a lead ball, which is pushed down with a ramrod. Next, a percussion cap or flint is placed on the ignition mechanism, depending on the musket type. Finally, the musket is ready to be aimed and fired.

How did the flintlock musket work?
The flintlock musket fires a (usually lead) projectile with a charge of black powder. When the shooter pulls the trigger, it releases a spring loaded flint striker. The flint striker ignites primer in the primer pan which then goes to ignite the black powder thus expelling the projectile. They are almost universally made to be muzzle loaders meaning that with every shot, the shooter had to pour black powder, a wad, and a lead bullet down the barrel, then prime and cock before being able to fire.

Is a black powder musket considered a rifle?
No, a rifle has rifling in its barrel (spiral grooves to make the bullet spin, thus stabilizing it and improving accuracy). A musket barrel is smooth.
What is the difference between a musket and a muzzle loader?
not sure if this is what you are looking for but a musket is usually smooth bored meaning it has no rifling in the barrel where a muzzle loader can have rifling. A muzzle loader refers to any weapon that is loaded thru the muzzle in a simple definition and it can be either smooth bored like a musket or rifled like a Pennsylvania long rifle or like most modern muzzle loaders are today
How many times can a musket shot before it runs out of bullets?
A musket typically uses a round lead ball and is loaded with gunpowder, so the number of shots it can fire before running out of bullets depends on how many rounds are available. If a shooter has, for example, ten bullets prepared, the musket can be fired ten times before running out. However, the musket must be reloaded after each shot, which can be time-consuming. Therefore, the effective rate of fire is also influenced by the shooter's speed and skill in reloading.
