A 'duck' is simply a handle that can be used to control some parameter of a layer.
For example, a circle will have one duck to control the position of its centre, and another to control its radius. Drag the ducks around to change the parameters.
More precise control of the ducks can be achieved using the cursor keys. The cursor keys will move the currently selected duck one pixel at a time, or ten pixels at a time if the shift key is pressed.
