Yes they will kill and eat adult ducks and geese too. They can run really fast and will corner out a victim and kill them.
Ducks need beaks for several reasons, firstly to scoop food from underneath weeds, to mate properly and to kill you if you make stupid questions. Look out when you sit down. He will be there...
They have homicidal tendencies.
Depends on what kind of snake bites the duck, if it is poisonous it could make the duck sick or could kill it. If it is just a normal water snake the I doubt that it will be able to kill the duck.
Duck down is used to stuff pillows and winter jackets. It is the best insulation known. And no, thank God, they do not kill the ducks for their feathers.
Down feathers comprise the fluffy, heat-retaining layer that lies under the water-repellent outer feathers. Down keeps the bird warm. The outer features keep the bird dry. Down ticking, i.e., the feathers stuffed into pillows, mattresses, etc., comes mostly from ducks, especially eider ducks (hence eiderdown.)
