You will get a duckling that can be raised itno one of the available ducks of the Genesis generation:
Ō Sensei with the genotype of LLLLLLLL
Cough Duck with the genotype of MMMMMMMM
Vibing Duck with the genotype of NNNNNNNN
Brokie Duck with the genotype of OOOOOOOO
The probability of producing each of the ducks above is 25%.
The set of available genesis ducks updates over time: new types of ducks are added and the old ones are removed. This rule ensures that every gene in the game is limited, which raises the value of genesis ducks. For example, Satoshi (BBBBBBBBBB) and Pepe (GGGGGGGG) ducks are no longer available in the incubator: you can only get them in the marketplace for WAVES.
You can get a duckling from an incubator, by rebirth, or by breeding two ducks. The duckling needs to be fed to mature into a duck
2 × the amount of SPICE from eggs that the duckling owner opened themselves;
1/2 × the amount of SPICE that the duckling owner received from eggs opened by other players.
Imagine you opened 2 golden or purple eggs and got 0.7 SPICE for that. At the same time, other players opened 3 eggs laid by your ducks, and your reward was 0.34 SPICE. In total, you received 1.04 SPICE and your feed limit is: 2 × 0.7 + 1/2 × 0.34 = 1.57 SPICE.
A duckling resulting from breeding will belong to the generation following the generation of the youngest parent. The cost of raising a duckling depends on its generation:
Hero — 20 SPICE
Ideal — 30 SPICE
Knight — 40 SPICE
Lord — 50 SPICE
Magical — 60 SPICE
Natural — 70 SPICE
Obstinate — 80 SPICE
Such a duckling comes without any feeding limits to your in-game activity.
Any duckling. If you don't have a duckling, get one at the incubator for 1 EGG or vEGG. ⓘ If you have vEGGs, they are spent first. If your vEGG balance is not enough to pay in full, the missing portion of the cost is paid in EGG.

A duckling obtained from an incubator or as a result of the rebirth will become a genesis duck. The total cost of raising a duckling is where x is the number of genesis ducklings hatched since the implementation of DIP 7.1. There is a feed limit for such a duckling, which depends on winnings in Arkimals Hunt. The limit is made up of two parts:
