ELI5: why can you eat duck rare but not chicken?

As mentioned by the other responders, there is nothing inherent in ducks or chickens that preclude you from eating either rare. The issue is directly tied to the conditions in which chickens in the US are raised, slaughtered and packed, which result in a level of salmonella risk is astronomically higher than in ducks.
