From my sample size of 5, I don’t think they see particularly well.
I recently started a new job that has me leaving for work at dawn. The ducks and chickens are let out when it’s still twilight. I can pet and easily pick up the ducks during this time.
On weekends, I make it out later, after the sun is fully up. The ducks shriek and run from me - I certainly can’t pet them.
The only real difference is the amount of light available. They can see me much better an hour after dawn than 20 minutes before. I otherwise talk to them and move the same and the routine is otherwise the same.
The chickens do seem to be worse though. The ducks can still see the pellets I throw on the ground at their feet while the chickens seem more obvious.
