    The plural of duck is ... duck. That's right no s. That seven years of college didn't go to waste.

    Thanks for helping us get our duck in a row on this one, craig.

    Except, I'm sorry to put a new perspective on those seven years....

    duck definition | Dictionary.com

    OR

    AskOxford: duck<sup>1</sup>

    check the plural form. Both the Webster's dictionary and the Oxford show that the plural can be "duck" or "ducks".

    Here are two sentences, both using a different plural form of "duck."

    "I have five ducks and they are all good swimmers."

    "The population of duck and geese in North Carolina has dwindled for five consecutive years."

    It depends on if you are commenting on specific ducks or not.
