That's twagic all wight.

A condition that tends to lessen the sufferers ability
to produce offspring, being hereditary. Poor ducks.

I can only assume that it's a recessive gene, rather
like haemophilia, so ducks can pass it on without
suffering the consequences themselves. Hmm, would that
also explain why most Humakti ducks seem to be male?
Female haemopiliacs don't survive puberty, do female
sufferers of Relife Sickness have a similar survival
rate for some reason? Or has this parallel gone far
too far?
