New Skill: Duck Hunting
(Requires Small Game Hunting + Firearms to unlock)

==Structures==
Duck Decoy - Woodblock x 5

When built can be placed in shallow water, in a sense it works similar to Fish Trap, but instead of Fish spawning inside it, there is a chance to spawn a Duck next to it. Up to 3 Mallard Ducks.

These ducks must still be killed, any attack other than shooting a rifle or pistol scares off all the ducks. Getting too close to the decoy scares off the ducks. This is the cost of duck hunting and why the structure can be so cheap for a passive food source.

Duck Decoys also have a radius where no other decoys can be built within.

==Mallard Duck==
Chance of receiving a Duck Egg when picking up a Dead Mallard. This would be our Yellow Bile Any Poultry Egg we are currently missing.

Would be just like a Turkey, can be Plucked to receive Duck Feathers and rarely Soft Feather Down and Pope’s Nose.

Pope's Nose
F&W: 1500
F&F: 1500
H&H: 2500
NPHIL: 1750
Uses:3
Perhaps can be Drained for "Duck Oil"?

Plucked Duck, can be stuffed, cooked in an oven and butchered just like a Turkey and gives Duck Breast, Duck Wings, Duck Heart etc. Then we can make the Any Poultry ingredients work like the eggs with Wild Turkey being Phlegm.

==Duck Specific Recipes==
Duck Confit - Duck Wing x 2 + Salt x 1 + Any Garlic x 1 + Must be cooked in Stove (Requires Duck Hunting + French Cuisine)
Turducken - Turkey Breast x 1 + Duck Breast x 1 + Onion x 1 + Tomato x 1 + Any Bell Pepper x 1
Foie Gras - Duck Liver x 1 + Gelatinous Lard x 1 + Frying Pan (Requires Duck Hunting + French Cuisine)

==Other==
Duck Feather Cloak - Cape - Duck Feathers x 25 - 4 Slots
Turkey Feather Cloak - Cape - Turkey Feathers x 50 - 2 Slots

With madness chance to spawn a dog that will immediately scare off all ducks as a psychotic episode.

Needs fowling pieces and/or blunderbusses for tactical duckshooting action.

Also possibly handy for rabbits and stuff, but shooting clusters of ducks/ducks almost demands it.

i love this idea!

* Confit would require oil/lard
* These are basically paid recipes (gunpowder required) and should provide a minor bonus as such? Cheaper per serving than pepper/molasses etc recipes however, so adjusted accordingly.

Why do we need to flesh out poultry when it's the best food in game?

More like complete its missing elements, yb egg for instance. Most foods have at least 4 variable ingredients, poultry has 3. I may be wrong of course but I assumed this meant there was space + a desire for at least 1 more.

Would be nice as long as its possible to craft everything needed to hunt ducks.

I like this idea
