Duck is the common name for numerous species of waterfowl in the family Anatidae. Ducks are generally smaller and shorter-necked than swans and geese, which are also members of the same family. Divided among several subfamilies, Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, mostly smaller than the swans and geese, and may be found in both fresh water and sea water. A duckling is a young duck in downy plumage[ or baby duck, but in the food trade a young domestic duck which has just reached adult size and bulk and its meat is still fully tender, is sometimes labelled as a duckling.
