As Chuck Jones pointed out, Daffy looks nothing like a real duck. He was not meant to be an accurate representation and there is nothing about him that looks even remotely like an actual duck of any species.
Why a duck? Why a no chicken?
Daffy was supposed to be a different color, there was an issue with the financing. His bill got messed up.
Quoth Exapno:
I dunno, that sounds like the exact opposite of inbreeding, to me.
And you know what they say about cartoons, right? Once you go black…

Doesn’t anybody remember? Daffy is a “Blue Necked Woo Woo” Duck. That’ why he jumps around yelling,“Woo Woo!”
That Elmer Fudd sure knows from ducks.
Oh! and try this for more info.
Holy Smokes , that’s so funny. Bravo.
Not that it looks anything at all like Daffy, but there is such a thing as the American Black Duck.
As the first post said.
Interestingly, I just went over to my friends new place for the first time and her housemates have chickens and one duck. The duck is completely black.
I’m pretty sure that “Daffy Loon” would have been redundant.
