The one seen on the inner wall of the duck intestines like a pea-like row of tissues is the thymus gland, which is also an immune organ in birds. The thymus we see in the photo looks a little bigger than a normal duck's thymus, which may be due to inflammation or disease in the duck, causing its immune organs to increase in size to fight bacteria and viruses, and the duck's normal thymus is a little smaller than the one in the photo.
