Extra Quality Explanation:
The passage may mention that some ducks lay white, blue, or green eggs (e.g., Runner ducks vs. Cayuga ducks). However, unless the text explicitly says "all breeds lay different colors" OR "all breeds lay identical colors," this remains "Not Given." Do not bring outside knowledge into the test.
In the modern era, we approach the duck with a singular, culinary focus: How does it taste? Is the skin crisp? But for centuries before the advent of industrial farming, the duck was viewed not just as livestock, but as an oracle. Farmers and housewives alike practiced a subtle, observational magic known as "reading"—a method of interpreting the behavior of the birds and the hidden structures of their eggs to predict weather, fortune, and fertility.
