What are the differences between the living habits of ducks and chickens?

One will water, the other won't.

1. Different definitions:

Chicken is a type of poultry, and the domestic rice is derived from wild chickens, which have been domesticated for at least about 4,000 years, but it was not until around 1800 that chicken and eggs became mass-produced commodities. The types of chickens are turkey, black chicken, pheasant, etc. And the rooster is also one of the 12 zodiac signs.

Duck is a general term for waterfowl in the subfamily Anatinae of the order Anatidae, or true duck. Ducks are comparatively small in size and have short necks. The legs are located at the back of the body (like a swan), so the gait is staggering.

2. Different morphological characteristics:

The length of the chicken body is 90-100 cm meters. The male bird has a gorgeous plumage. The pheasant seen in East China has a brass-colored head and white eyebrow lines on both sides.

The chin, throat, and back of the neck are all black and metallic reflective. There is a conspicuous white circle under the neck, so it is commonly known as the ring-necked pheasant. The back is golden yellow in the front, chestnut red in the back, and olive green in the back, all of which are patchy.

The meat is duck, large, with a broad body, full muscles, delicious meat, docile temperament, and slow action. It grows quickly in the early stage and is easy to fatten. There are generations of sliding table Peking duck, Cherry Valley duck, French Muscovy duck, Ao Baixing duck and so on.

Ducks for eggs are smaller, with slender bodies, tight feathers, flexible movements, early sexual maturity, and a large number of eggs, but the egg size is small and the meat quality is slightly worse.

3. Different nutritional values:

Most of the nutrients of chicken are protein and fat, but chicken lacks calcium, iron, carotene, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, various vitamins and crude fiber.

The nutritional value of duck meat is similar to that of chicken. However, in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, the food eaten by ducks is mostly aquatic organisms, so its meat is sweet and cold, and enters the lungs, stomach and kidney meridians, and has the functions of nourishing, nourishing the stomach, tonifying the kidney, removing tuberculosis and heat bone steaming, eliminating edema, stopping fever and dysentery, relieving cough and phlegm.

Chicken, a type of poultry, is derived from wild raw chickens, and its domestication history is at least about 4,000 years, but it was not until around 1800 that chicken and eggs became mass-produced commodities. The types of chickens are turkey, black chicken, pheasant, etc. And the rooster is also one of the 12 zodiac signs.

2. Duck is a general term for waterfowl of the duck subfamily of the family Duckidae, or true duck.

Ducks are relatively small in size and have short necks, and some genera have larger beaks. The legs are located at the back of the body (like a swan), so the gait is staggering.

3. Goose is a herbivorous bird, the whole body is a treasure, the feathers are rich and gorgeous clothing, the foie gras is a delicacy of the high dining table, the goose meat is nutritious, the value is comparable to mutton, and it is a must-have for high-end restaurants.

4. Quail, generally referring to the genus Quail, often moves in pairs rather than in groups.

It is often found in plains, wastelands, streams, hillsides and hills where dense weeds and low trees grow, and sometimes near cultivated land. It mainly eats weed seeds, legumes, grains and berries, young leaves, shoots, etc., and in summer eats a large number of insects and larvae, as well as small invertebrates. It is found in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.

5. Pigeon, a very common bird, widely bred all over the world, pigeon is the collective name of hundreds of species of birds of the pigeon family of doves of the order Dove.

The pigeon is only one of the genus Pigeon, and it is a domestic pigeon, and the most common of the domestic pigeons is the carrier pigeon, which is mainly used for communication and racing.

1. Ducks like water and are gregarious, suitable for grazing and feeding or captivity.

3. Ducks are cold tolerant, but poor heat resistance.

4. Ducks have a regular life, and there can be a certain time pattern for grazing, foraging, playing, resting, mating and laying eggs during the day.

5. There is no nesting, no hatching ability, and artificial incubation and brooding are required.
