Depending on wind direction and speed, a migrating duck may fly as high as 10, 500 feet. They often fly much lower however, in the area of 300-1200 feet. This is during migration. I am not sure how high they fly during their normal non-migratory periods, although the ducks that live on the lake that I live on rarely fly higher than the highest trees around here which would be about 100 feet.

Some domesticated ducks can get a condition called Angel Wing where the wing (or wings) do not grow properly during adolescence.
