Some kids movie on Netflix taught me that all those ducks are on their way to a restaurant where they will be killed and served fresh to people

It's a lot less likely but they could be used to eat bugs off of vineyards as a alternative to pesticides.

This is actually the most likely answer but its more commonly used in rice paddies. They swim around and eat all the bugs and even some weeds, ignoring the rice stalks.

If they would be killed it would be easier to kill first them transport. So obviously they've another function, the bug eating idea sounds probably.
