Did you know that shell duck is a misnomer based on a linguistic assumption 
)) shellduck is a bit more correct, in the past it was sheldduck (or scheld duck) or more commonly sheldrake which I believe is of Celtic origin and meant pied or variegated.
Nothing to do with shells at all

Why do people insist on ruining a nice bit of duck meat by slathering it in oranges?

Lucky you, MikeT. How long do you think they'll stay on your land?
Bit of honey and a sprinkle of 5 spice powder is much better.
