They are all farmyard creatures and sold for food also in relation to cows,
sheep their skins are used for say sheepskins and shoes or coats, bags.
Ducks for their feathers - e.g. pillows and for food too.

THANK EWE KAREN, THANK EWE ROSALIND DNA
These are FANTASTIC answers...all of them !!
In every essence of the words those answers are unique and special...one offs !!....alas not the answer that this particular query poses !
These three animals have something very specific in common.....the answer is full of......recalescent nitrogen, oxygen, and minute amounts of other gases !!!

Fertilizer POOP!

Nope sorry Karen Mam.
It's a historical first...involving these three animals......a shared event !!

They all float in the tub the one time of the year you bathe.

This is a wild guess and I'm sure I'm wrong, but very recently I read something about rice cultivation and fish farming and it involved ducks, sheep and chickens among other critters.

*le sigh*
THE HISTORY OF HOT AIR BALLOONING
On the 19th September 1783 Pilatre De Rozier, a scientist, launched the first hot air balloon called 'Aerostat Reveillon'. The passengers were a sheep, a duck and a rooster and the balloon stayed in the air for a grand total of 15 minutes before crashing back to the ground.

Poor Neil

- though I bet the duck had the best time telling the rooser off for not even remembering what flight felt like
And then it all crashed you say?
Hmmm - perhaps that's the first time then that the DNA got entangled

OH......NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LOL

I heard that when the balloon landed the rooster had an injured foot- due to the sheep stepping on him!
-
Hee hee hee.. so they survived? Very good! Poor roosters foot!

"So they survived? Very good! Poor roosters foot!"
More than can be said for the apostrophe.

In those stilettos, that would have hurt.

"The first manned attempt came about 2 months later on 21st November, with a balloon made by 2 French brothers, Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier. The balloon was launched from the centre of Paris and flew for a period of 20 minutes. The birth of hot air ballooning!!"

OH no, just like the American army killing innocent civilians, this war-mongering beaver just killed the Easter Bunny! Now what will the children do this Easter. NO EGGS, NO Chocolate bunnies. My, My , My, just like the Christmas Scrooge! Has he no shame?

Shame is a human emotion that has no place among Castorkind

Just goes to prove what I have said above - only humans can sing the tenor line in Beethoven's 5th because they have emotions. Obviously, beavers, are emotional and therefore not human.
WE ARE BEING TAKEN OVER BY RODENTS!!!!!
-
you said "no self-respecting beaver would want to look like a fat 60 yr old gay!"
-
But opus, the beaver has contradicted himself and caught himself in a trap of his own making - Self respect is a human emotion - what would he care if he were fat or gay if he meant what he said in the words I quote "Shame is a human emotion that has no place among Castor kind". If there is no shame in killing the Easter bunny ergo there is no shame in being gay, bald or old.
Very sticky wicket there.

Jim, I regret that, once again, you have overestimated your own ability to argue linguistics and logic with the beaver.
Who said that self-respect is exclusive to humans? Shame is, but has nothing to do with self-respect. My self-respect dictates that I dress well when in public. It has nothing to do with feeling shame were I not, merely discomfort at my drab or scruffy appearance.
-
It is the question of Human Emotion, not a particular human emotion such as shame. If there is no emotion of shame, there can be no emotion of love, etc.
This is only logical as rodents are a lower form of life than the Genus Homo.

Jim is never awake at dawn. As far as he is concerned, crepuscular activity is something that happens to other animals.

Jim is never awake at dawn. As far as he is concerned, crepuscular activity is something that happens to other animals.
Oh my, doesn't even know how to use the English language.
cre-pus-cu-lar (kri pus'kyuh luhr) adj.
1. of, pertaining to, or resembling
twilight; dim.
2. active in the twilight, as certain insects.
[1660-70]
Dawn is NOT twilight.
-
HA... you fell into my trap!
Crepuscular doesn't specifically refer to dusk. It is half-light... ergo dusk or dawn.
from http://misanthropicscott.wordpress.com/2007/12/01/becoming-crepuscular-for-better-wildlife-viewing/ (http://misanthropicscott.wordpress.com/2007/12/01/becoming-crepuscular-for-better-wildlife-viewing/)
Crepuscular is an adjective used to describe wildlife that is primarily active at dawn and dusk. Since a large amount of truly diurnal wildlife has already been killed or has been scared into becoming crepuscular, dawn and dusk are good times to view a large percentage of the wildlife you have a chance of seeing.
from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/crepuscular (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/crepuscular)
cre·pus·cu·lar (kr-psky-lr)
adj.
1. Of or like twilight; dim: "the period's crepuscular charm and a waning of the intense francophilia that used to shape the art market" Wall Street Journal.
2. Zoology Becoming active at twilight or before sunrise, as do bats and certain insects and birds.
Note - "of or LIKE twilight".
You even put it yourself in your definition...

twilight; dim.
2. active in the twilight, as certain insects.

Now Eth, calm down. This isn't good for your heart and your dementia is showing. Did you take your "happy pills" today? Is nursey not taking proper care of you? Or were you bitten by a rabid beaver radding your pond?
I do care and only want the best for you.

That's what the vet said when he got the snippers out [:(]

Raiding you pond - bad, bad spell-checker.
I am so sorry about the snippers, but at your age you need to conserve your strength.
That is the advice I keep getting. I'll be out until late this evening but I ring nursey to see how you are.

I'll be out until late this evening ...
Have the doctors given you a late pass?

YES! Fooled them again.

Who are you today? Napoleon again?

No, Napoleon is so passé. I'm Ivan the Terrible. I enjoying executing my rodent court.

I had a gerbil called Ivan The Terrible. He was a small, insignificant wimp.

I am sorry you couldn't find a good Russian fighting gerbil. (The best fighting gerbils are originally from the Russian steeps you know.) African and Indian ones are just too timid.

I thought you had an non-Russian gerbil. Or did you have an affair with a beaver from the Urals?
