I personally would not recommend it based on my experience. I have two ponds, one about .6 acre and that is the one I have the ducks on. I will not be putting ducks on the other. I have 5 Silver Appleyard ducks that I hatched and who live 24/7 on the pond. They are pretty amazing in that they have escaped predation for several years from a variety of threats, including, foxes,raccoons, coyotes, dogs etc. We actually enjoy having them around. The problem, however, is that they constantly eat all of the vegetation along the inside of the banks and so the pond edges are always crumbling and falling into the pond. I estimate that I have lost close to 4 feet of bank already. Fortunately, there is room for "expansion" so I haven't worried too much about it but it really is pretty amazing how much damage they have done. Something to consider anyway.
