Duck is the common name for a number of species of birds in the family of ducklings (Anatidae). All species in the Anatidae are called "ducks" except those in the subfamily Anserinae, the geese and swans. Ducks are mainly aquatic birds, usually smaller than their relatives, the swans and geese, with short necks, and can be found in both fresh and salt water. The Tadorninae, which include the shelduck, are midway between a goose and a duck in size. Ducks are sometimes confused with several species of unrelated birds with similar shapes, such as divers, grebes, rals, coots and moorhens. Sometimes "duck" refers only to female ducks. A male duck is called a "duckling". A young duck is called dart (sometimes piel); in general, young of chickens and ducks are also called "pullet" or "pulleke". A mallard duckling, the most common species, can be recognised by some curled feathers on the tail (this is not always visible) in addition to its colour. source wikipedia
