Yeah, I know.... I'm not sure. I have this mental picture of Duck
mothers feeding their young worms or small fish.
Personally I'd be happier if the Ducks too laid eggs. But I'm trying to
work with the universe as laid down by the earlier authors. If I felt I
could get away with it I'd say that the 'live-young' thing was another
innaccurate rumour of the same sort as the 'were-duck' idea.
