We've had ducks on and off over the years. Usually two or three for our half-acre pond. I think they are great, and they really keep the weeds down around the edges.

As for feeding, we always fed the ducks first, and well away from where we would feed the fish. It would take our three pekin ducks about 20-30 minutes to find a 1-lb. coffee can full of cracked corn thrown in the grass. By then the fish would be done feeding. If the ducks finished the corn early, they would quickly scarf up any fish food floating on the water.
