The Ducks are an unknown number of ducks that appear rarely at Baldie Carrot, the Cats' Protector (commonly known as the Duck Feeder due to the ducks that visit). The Caretaker lets them out to use the feeder as a food source at certain times.
Behavior
The ducks will usually appear for a short time, eating food quickly and leaving once it is finished. When cats see the ducks approaching they will run away. The only recorded sighting of a duck and a cat interacting is when Ms. Opera was attacked by a muscovy duck.
Appearance
There are 3 documented types of ducks that visit the Duck Feeder. 4 fully white ducks with orange beaks that can usually be seen together; Muscovy ducks, which are black and white with red markings around their eyes; and a Rouen duck, which has a brown and white body with a green head.

- June 18, 2024: At around 7:39 AM (LFT), a muscovy duck visited the feeder. They ate all the available kibble, staring at the camera as they did so. After eating, they jumped up on the wall and stood in the same spot for around 20 minutes. Then, they walked away.

- June 23, 2024:
- At 2:27 AM, 4 white ducks invaded the feeder. They ate with unparalleled speed, emptying a fair amount of kibble in just a few minutes. They all left around 2:30 AM. The same 4 ducks kept coming back multiple times in the night, scaring off any cats who wanted to eat.
- At 3:04 AM, a muscovy duck hesitantly approached the feeder. They ate most of what was dispensed before leaving at 3:10 AM when 2 white ducks came to the feeder - most likely the ones that had invaded earlier.

July 2024

- July 5, 2024: At 11:24 AM (LFT), the Caretaker let the 4 white ducks out. They immediately went to the feeder and ate everything quickly. Afterward, they could be seen walking around the feeder, waiting for food to dispense. At 11:55 AM (LFT), a Rouen duck passed by the feeder multiple times, but could not get in to eat due to the white ducks hoarding it. This is the first documented Rouen duck sighting seen on the farm.
- July 14, 2024: At 12:43 PM (LFT), the Caretaker placed a baby white duck into the feeder in an attempt to get it to eat the Ants that were in the feeder.

A minute later, 4 white adult ducks and a Rouen duck ran over and began to devastate the food and the ants inside.
