Every summer, we feed the ducks in our backyard. They disappear during the winter, but then they come back every year. However, this year, they seemed to come back during the winter. Just the few we normally have. Then, this morning, there were 12 ducks outside on our deck waiting for us to give them corn. Later, there were 15. FIFTEEN ducks all wanting us to feed them. What if they keep spreading the word and more come? We’ll be overrun by ducks!!! :eek:
Well, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem, unless you can’t manage to get them all in a row.
No problem…that’s Sunday roasts through to easter so far
This is why they make shotguns.
I have a foul suggestion… ducks and runs…
Would it be a foul to note that you meant “fowl?”
No fair Peking.
Rabbit Season!
We’ve always enjoyed having the ducks visit, but seriously, this is a little ridiculous…
Well now you can try 15 witches! Salem, to say nothing of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, would be proud!
So…are you asking for advice, or recipes?
Duck season! FIRE!!
mmmMMMMmmm
seasoned duck!

oh, it’s a CARTOON!
Just make sure you don’t get too attached to them. That could lead to trouble between you and Big Pussy and Paulie Walnuts down the road.
Do you have a pet goose? If so you could play a really cool game with them…
You mean, do you have a pet grey duck?
Duck duck “goose”. Pfah. Only terrorists play that.
Have you ever seen the video of some folks with a swimming pool who did the same thing (the video shows up on shows like “Amazing Animal Videos” occasionally). After a few years the pool was totally full of ducks! It became a plague of ducks. I don’t remember what they had to do to get rid of them though.
Hope this doesn’t happen to you.
Ewwwww.
All I can think of after reading this is a pool full of duck poop!
Ewwwwwww!!!

I second the “12-Gauge Solution”.
What kind of ducks are they?
Everyone I know (including myself) always gets them in pairs. But now that I think about it, they’re always mallards.
I usually see them in twos or threes. The pairs are usually male/female pairs, but occasionally two males; and usually if there are three, two of them are males.
You could try calling a local nature center or the DNR and they might be able to move them to a nature preserve.
