I know chickens eat Styrofoam whenever they get a chance. I'm sure it isn't good for them but I've never heard of one dying.

It should pass on its own without many complications. It would not hurt to monitor the duckling for the next day/s, and see if any gastrointestinal issues develop such as abnormal stools, lack of appetite, etc.

All should be well.
In my chicken coop, the chickens have poked holes in the ceiling (foam) from pecking at it when they're roosting.
They seem to all be fine.
It's not necessarily good for them, but if a duckling pecked it once, it'll be fine.

Good luck
