Do ducks have claws on their wings?

[duckyfromoz]

My daughter takes great delight in showing her friends that little claw on ducklings..She likes to say that we have a yard full of modern day dinosaurs and tells them all about the way evolution has occured and that ducklings have the remnants of claws on their wings. We haev often joked about how things could look if things happened the opposite way - imagine a big old t-tex today if it evolved from ducks - flapping around after a meal with webbed feet getting in the way.

Muscovy ducks do, yes. And it's sharp. I have the scar to prove it! I have a couple of Muscovies I recently slaughtered in my freezer. I will get pics of their wing claws when I thaw them out later.

My Scovy's do not have claws on their wings.

That large claw is actually a torn feather where it broke off and par to it is out, it happens when they're mottling for te season

I have Muscovies too and haven't noticed claws on anybody. I also have Pekins and recently butchered my Muscovy drake. I'm glad I decided not to breed him to the Pekins now!
