Although domestic ducks (except for Muscovies) are all descended from Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos), most of them have been bred so that their bodies are too heavy and wings too small to support flying. Of the mallard-derived breeds, only Calls and some of the other bantam ducks can fly. Muscovies also can fly well, especially the females. Male Muscovies can lumber up in the air and flap about a bit, but they sure don't remind me of birds!

If a duck basically has one leg does he swim in a circle ? Is a frog's butt watertight ? Does a bear s*** interior the woods ? Are you kidding ? H*ll confident they fly. They migrate hundreds or hundreds of miles over the open sea for the winter and that they neither walk or run there (I doubt they could swim that far). as nicely, how else could desire to you "shoot a sitting duck" if it wasn't flying ?

no they walk south for the winter
wait
I guess they could but you would probably have to pay regular airfare I think the faa has some sort of regulations forbiding you to hold your duck while in flight

More like "glide" on warmer air-currents but not literally fly.
