There once was an unfortunate duck
whose love life completely sucked
his brown feet ignored
leaving the ladies quite bored
He’s genetically out of luck

Why Do Ducks Have Orange Feet?
“. . . for the ducks that do have orange feet, well, it’s all about attracting the ladies. Chicks dig orange.”
“Bright orange coloring suggests that a male duck, also known as a drake, is getting all his vitamins, particularly carotenoids, such as beta-carotene and vitamin A, antioxidants that can be beneficial to the immune system. “This indicates that his behaviors and genes are good enough for him to recognize and eat the right food, or that his immune system is strong enough to produce bright orange legs,” Omland says. “The female sees this as a very attractive trait to pass on to her offspring.”‘
“Omland’s work only looked at drakes’ bills, but he thinks there’s enough circumstantial evidence to say that ducks check out each other’s feet, too. “Blue-footed boobies have, obviously, very blue feet, and it’s very well documented that they use their feet in courtship and that females do care about the coloration of males’ feet,” Omland says. “Perhaps mallards, like the boobies, have a foot fetish.”‘

Duck have orange feet so that when they cross the road at night, cars can see them. But, why does the duck cross the road?

Phylor,
They cross the road to pick up trash. They should buy orange neon vests so they wouldn’t have to worry about their FEAT.

There was an mall at the bottom of an office complex a few blocks from where I worked. In the summer, I’d get an orange Julius for my lunch. Some other fast food chain bought them (Dairy Queen?) and had Orange Julius sub-stores inside the other’s stores.
