Will a duck raised without other ducks ever know it’s a duck if introduced?

Will a duck that was raised only with human companions ever know it is a duck if it is introduced to them?

Probably eventually. One reason we recommend not raising a duckling alone or if it can't be avoided then place a mirror in with it so it gets to see another duck. When introducing ducks to ducks it's always best to do it through fencing so they get to know each other without confrontation. Resident ducks don't always take to a newbie. What age is the duck in question?
