Water is vital to a duck's well-being. In the absence of their preferred natural muddy planted pond, a duck will settle for the next best thing like your swimming pool. I'm sure the chlorine is not pleasant for them, but they need water like we need air. So put up a little pond for them - no need to build something big. We're using a plastic "shell" that is normally used as a kid's sand pit and refresh the water every couple of days.
It can be difficult to get ducks out of your yard once they are in there. If you can bother the mother duck enough that she leaves the yard, she will call the chicks to her and they will follow her out. The only other solution is to trap the ducks and move them. Just be sure to get all of the baby ducks, along with the mother. They cannot survive without her.
Good luck ! I cant keep them off my front porch. We had to put up a baby gate. As for your yard you will have to keep chasing them away but they will come back.
stop feeding them
get a statue of an eagle (or some other large animal)
get a dog or a cat
call animal control
A hunting permit, a duck stamp, and a shotgun will do the trick.
Put a cover on your pool.
Ducks usually incubate their eggs for about 28 days
The Clorine cleans it.
First you drag the big duck away from its original spot, then click the smaller duck. Hope I helped.
Duck down is a layer of fluffy, not water-proof feathers that grow close to the skin, and all over a young duckling. Their purpose is to keep the duck warm in cold conditions. Other feathers on a ducks are generally waterproof, and are designed to help keep water away from down, aid in flight and cover the body. ~BlackWolf1112
You should probably keep it for less than a month before you eat it.
By putting a rabbit fence around the pool
Using a device called a duck hook pole
If they are wild birds, keep the dog food INSIDE. they should not bother the pool, though.
Put moth balls around your pool area as they have been known to keep not only mice away but snakes also.

The quickest way would be to net out as much of it as you can. In order to sanitize you pool water you will need to shock it with chlorine. However, check your water balance prior to adding chlorine. Birds are attracted to the swimming pool water and it will be difficult to keep them away. If you keep floating toys or objects in your pool when it is not in use consider removing them or keep your pool covered unless you are using it. A Solar cover would help your pool retain heat and keep the bird dropping out of the water!!
