Can confirm everything you said about ducks. I hand-dug ours a little 6' x 4' x 3' (LxWxD) pond, and I've got plans to dig a much larger one this summer because they use that little thing to the max. Frustrating to watch them try to swim it, but they seem to appreciate it all the same.
The "laugh all the time" part kills me - I've pointed out to my daughter it's like they're sitting around telling jokes all day. You hear "wackwackwack... wack wack... wackwackwack QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK!" It's like sitting outside a comedy club where you can here to comedian/audience but can't make out the words.
I'm excited to expand the flock. I like the eggs too, but like you said, a little tougher to collect.
I got one of those automatic doors and most nights I have to shepherd the ducks in after the door closed. Unless the weather is really snowy and cold, then they put themselves to bed. They are late night partiers, hanging in the creek til late those ducks.
Since the automatic door doesn't let them out until daybreak I can get them to mostly lay in the chicken shack, in the floor. Sadly you have to wash duck eggs, they are nasty creatures like I said.
