What are they eating? Are you putting out duck food? If so, dont increase the amount you put out, just let them sort it out.

p.s they look delicious. you know what to do.

we put out a feeder in the yard for the chickens that are free range and the ducks destroy it, every time we move it, the ducks follow it and find it

yep we can, that's what I'm trying to tell my wife, put the feeder in the yard, get her, myself and her brother on the porch with the 12 gauges and on the count of three, 20 ducks in the freezer

she's not going for it
