I want to know the answer to the following question:
When did ducks begin to appear in the books of Western Europeon Society ?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Lucius Columella, writing in the first century BC, advised those who sought to rear ducks to collect wildfowl eggs and put them under a broody hen, because when raised in this way, the ducks "lay aside their wild nature and without hesitation breed when shut up in the bird pen".". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
