Isn't duck 100% dark meat? I've always wanted to try it.

It is darker than turkey or chicken, but not beef level of dark. It is way fattier than those two, so it is usually better to keep it frying or baking a good while on low heat so that fat has enough time to render.
It definitely has that poultry flavor, but it is different from chicken and turkey. It is juicer, richer, and more gamey in taste. However, shit cooks can turn it into a chewy mess when they treat it like they would chicken. Again, low heat is key.

That should have been "How should I roast a duck? I have never cooked duck before."
There is so much variation in the recipes I have found.
Oven temperatures range from 300-400 degrees.
Some recipes call to score the skin, some to prick it, some both.
Some recipes call for flipping the duck over while it is cooking.
Some recipes call for convection, others say not to use it.

Few times I tried to roast a duck I had best result when using the rotisserie in my stove. I bake it at 300F-350F until meat itself gets to about 150F, then I turn the heat up to 500F to crisp the skin. I usually bake some potatoes in the dripping pan. That way they get flavor from the dripping duck fat.

rubbing the skin with a mixture of salt and baking powder will also help dry the skin out before cooking to make it even crispier

I tried cooking duck breast this December and used this recipe. It ended up very good. Only downside is that it requires sous vide equipment, but decent circulator costs about $70.00 or you can just use beer cooler method.

Ducks are superior to chickens in every way–especially if you're raising them for eggs. Ducks will tend your garden for you without destroying your crops. They eat the weeds not the crops, the poop is better fertilizer, they destroy the slugs and other pests and they don't scratch when they feed like chickens do (which fucks up crops).

Ducks do not root like chickens, which is why they are beneficial for farming/gardening. They are actually known for eating weeds but not the crops in most cases.
If you farm you should have a dog or two and train them to not kill the ducks from an early age. If you want to get fancy you can buy a donkey and they naturally don't fuck with ducks but curb stomp foxes, coyotes and most other predators because they are territorial.
