Questions

Can I use these duck sounds in a YouTube video or a paid project?

Yes. Every clip here is CC0, public domain or CC BY, and all of those allow use in monetised videos, podcasts, games, apps and client work, with no fee and no need to ask.

Do I need to give credit for these duck sounds?

Only for three of the six clips, the ones marked CC BY 4.0. Put the credit line in your description or end credits, for example "Mallard, Bryce, CC BY 4.0", "Domestic Mallard, Don Bosan-Bruno, CC BY 4.0" and "Mallard, Eric Schmidt, CC BY 4.0". The other three need no credit.

Do all ducks sound the same?

No. Each species has its own calls, which is why this page has two of them: Mallard and Domestic Mallard. If you are trying to name one you heard, start with the species found near you.
