People keep saying ducks should be +5 legendary in things. But this is plainly not true. They should be... dabbling. 8)

Ducks with dark wings should seem like bumbling fools, but become combat badasses when pushed.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

I can't help but feel that Toady should add a [QUACKER] token to ducks. It will indeed make better ducks.

Duck should suffer from not being able to swim. [SWIM_DEPENDENT]

Duck shouldn't hatch on its eggs. It shouldn't even lay eggs on nest box at all. Ducks leave their eggs all over the ground they live...
This is just not true.  I've kept ducks, and while they like to swim, they certainly don't need to.  They also lay their eggs in the nest nice and cooperatively.  They're pretty bad at sitting on them, though.  Aside from a few breeds of ducks that are better, if you want to hatch ducks you often need an incubator or a spare nesting hen, because ducks tend to get bored and wander off.

While wild ducks can fly quite well, domestic ducks are much heavier bodied with about the same size of wings, so they are not typically capable of true sustained flight (especially light and strong ducks can probably do it).  They can fly about as well as chickens, which is to say they can get on top of roofs, into trees, and over fences if actively chased, but usually won't bother.
