I raise muscovies, and they Love flowers and vegies. Darned birds. But, spraying the flowers with a mix of dish soap in water will make the flowers unpalatable, and it actually kills many pest insects.





Feeding corn to muscovies isn't a great idea. If these are Your ducks, and not wild, invest in some game bird feed. With the price of feed corn skyrocketing, it doesn't cost much more than the corn, and it's WAY better for them. Even scratch grain is better than corn for a muscovy.





Put tomato fence around precious flowers (those wire cones that you get at the garden center) and spray with dish soap in water.





Best of luck.
Reply:Fence in the flowers so the ducks can't get to them. Some kind of physical barrier would work best.
