The Poultry Code
Last updated 23 August 2025
If it Walks Like a Duck, Quacks Like a Duck, Looks Like a Duck, it Must be a Chicken

Despite their many distinguishing features, including but not limited to their biological dependence on surface water, the welfare of ducks is not individually considered by Australian animal welfare codes.
