What plant is this? - And is it save for my duckies to eat it?

Hi Friends!

While brooming my driveway today i discovered some really green plants at the cliff:

They have a milky sap that does not leave black stains on the skin and they smell very intense, like turnip, radish, mustard, collard-greens, very aromatic… Its not bear-leak, i know that plant.
I collected some, offered it to my Duckies and had to count my fingers. My Ducks are craving for some greens and gulped down the leaves like salad. I have no idea what plant that is, but Ducks would not eat something that's bad for them, would they?
Haven't made any fodder yet, but will start to grow some this week.
 
It definitely is wild lettuce - Lactuca virosa. Thank you very much for the anwer!
And my Duckies could definitely use some wild opiates to calm them down. They rarely sleep before midnight and are running around on their pasture like they ate wild bees…
