The Ducks
With The Ducks installed, players find duck mobs in swamp and taiga biomes and can cook duck meat from a dropped Donald Duck skin.
What it does
The mod adds the Ducks game, with Scrooge McDuck, Darkwing Duck, Daffy Duck and the Dewey, Louie and Huey ducks as mobs. Mallard ducks spawn in swamp biomes and Pekin ducks in taiga biomes. Ducks breed with seagrass, and they drop duck meat that can be cooked, while a Donald Duck skin can be renamed Donald Duck. Both the server and every player need the mod, which is published for Fabric and Forge.
Spawn rates are set in a Common Config file in the config folder. On Fabric, a biome is entered by its name with no spaces between names, separated by commas, and the Fabric versions did not change in 1.19. On Forge from 1.19 on, spawn settings moved to biome tags and modifier JSON files, so the Forge config differs from the Fabric one. Files cover 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.3, 1.20.1 and 1.21, with 1.2.3+1.19.2 for 1.19.2 as the latest Fabric file and 1.2.4 for 1.21 as the latest Forge file. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

What the author says
You can find Mallard ducks in the swamp and Pekin ducks in the taiga biome. Also, they'll lay eggs (can be boiled and eaten) just like chickens and will be eaten by foxes. These eggs are dyeable, because why not?
