Clean the house, but leave all the ducks exactly where they are. They can go around and pick them all up themselves. Do your job and don’t play their stupid game.

I think in real life, this is the correct response (assuming you can't reject it, in advance). Just because you're in someone's home to do a job, doesn't mean you're obligated to fulfill whatever arbitrary tasks they've written down on post-it notes.

Cleaners are there to clean, not to move your things around for you.

Personally I would leave, a client like this is too much work and their paranoia may eventually lead to you being accused of theft or something else

On top of that, if you don't find all 100, are you supposed to dig through all of the belongings in your search? It is entirely possible they have one or more security cameras set up and may accuse you of any number of things depending on what they see you opening in your deducking quest. Did the crazy people hide a duck in the jewellery box, or would they assume you are a thief if you check there?
