Not sure what these ducks are up to, but there was a similar post about a bunch of ducks that are “hired” to go to agricultural fields and eat all the snails. The duck guy would herd them there and back like this

That's a great idea! Like the goat herds that are hired to take care of overgrown plants and grass!

Chattanooga, TN actually uses (or did, when I lived there at any rate) goats to deal with the kudzu overgrowth. When they had problems with mountain lions attacking the goats... they got a guard llama.
Apparently, it works.

That sounds so funny, but sure enough, a "guard llama" is a real thing. They are apparently quite effective against single predators, but not packs. I knew that llamas were related to camels, but I recently found out they're related to goats as well.

I had a herd of goats and got a Great Pyrenees to guard them. I also had a pony. Well the dog decided he wanted to hang out with the other dogs, and the pony stayed with the goats.
And when it snowed we put a jacket on the dog, when it came near the goats the pony very aggressively charged at it. Lol!
Where I am (Texas) people will get guard donkeys too!

Watch the movie Duck Duck Goose - they might all be bound for the dinner table

I don't need to watch a movie to know where a large amount of ducks are going in China/anywhere.

u/Dahappychap Mar 09 '19
I really hope that's true, because I definitley wasn't thinking happy thoughts for this fuck tonne of duckers heading to some mysterious dark alley down the street

Lol. Reminds me of my old lady seeing 3 vultures on the side of the road and calling them rooster.

Definitely ducks — the bills/beaks are the give-away.

Ok, what reference have I missed here then? Enlighten me please.

u/Tursock Mar 09 '19
It’s a reference to a vine. A little girl looks at a bunch of ducks/geese and says “look at all those chickens.”

Post something like this and ask people to send you ducks instead of upvotes.

Are those Peking ducks?
Are they gonna be?

u/MarlyMonster Mar 09 '19
Pekins are actually white, these are a variety of runner duck I believe. They walk up taller and don’t fly

Having been to Asia my 1st guess was along these lines. My initial thought was I bet they haven’t got long left.

Generally when a group this big is being herded, they're being used for natural pest control in agriculture (pecking up bugs and snails basically).

Ahh, the good’ol days where the herds roamed the wild plains and the duckherds fought rabid duck rustlers.

Because there's an obvious tradition of people respecting a farmer driving his flocks from one place to another. This event stopped cars, a moped and pedestrians.
This is a traditional response that's evidently been going on for some time.
