    Is there any significant difference if I buy something labelled as duck v duckling?
    I see LIDL will have a fresh duckling in their Christmas range, am I ok to cook that the same as a 'duck' or might it need less time in the oven \ have less fat etc?

    In my experience, duckling seems to be fattier. You should give it a little less cooking time, simply because there is less meat. Or you could do as I do, and opt for duck.

    Duckling is not a term that's really used anymore.
    I asked a guy from Silver Hill what happened to the fashion for duckling. According to him, what is now sold as duck is the very same thing as what used to be called duckling.

    I think the term duckling was a bit emotive for some people and suggested a small product to others.

    So, to answer your question, there is no difference.
