What is a group of ducks called?

There isn't a formally named group of ducks with a specific collective noun like "a gaggle of geese" or "a murder of crows." The collective noun used for ducks varies depending on context and the speaker's preference. Commonly used terms include:

• A flock of ducks: This is the most common and widely accepted collective noun for ducks. It's perfectly suitable for most situations.
• A raft of ducks: This term specifically refers to a group of ducks swimming together closely, often resting on the water.
• A paddling of ducks: This is a more poetic and less common term, but suitable for a group of ducks swimming and paddling together.

Therefore, when referring to a group of ducks, using "a flock of ducks" is generally the safest and most understood option. The other terms offer slightly more specific imagery, but "flock" remains the most versatile.
