Hi guys.

I'll jump in here and offer a differing point of view. I've actually got 5 peeking ducks (white ones) on my pond and I have had none of the issues you described - none. They actually seem to be eating any algea which grows near the rip rap and keeping it in check. I can't say that I have seen any increased turbidity in the water, etc... They spend some time swimming in it, but also spend a lot of time out in the yard wandering around and eating bugs, etc...

I was pretty unsure about them at first, but they have been here since last July and don't seem to be causing us any issues at all.

Maybe, I'm just lucky.
