Double checking: Does the USDA call out any hazards for duck that are different than chicken or turkey - processing wise, not slaughter. 

I assume not, but I've made assumptions before(used common sense) that were incorrect.

So far as I can tell, duck is poultry in their eyes:

Meat and Poultry Hazards and Controls Guide (usda.gov)

 

In their information to the public they call out duck and turkey separately because they're purchased less frequently, but the hazards at the consumer level remain the same as poultry:
