Obvious answer is to give the kids ducklings for every visit. Pressuring kids parents to stop their kids coming over without permission. Unless they want to own duck pets.
Build an exact replica of that area right next to the original. They'll be confused, are they visiting the real ducks or a simulacrum of the ducks?
Build a moat. It would certainly keep me out.
Woohoo, free swimming pool!
Now, a lava moat...
train the ducks to chase after the enemies. Lol
Or just add some geese to the flock.
The real answer
Peace was never an option
Trespassers will be trebucheted.
"There is at least one more bear trap on my grounds than you can spot."
I would have to go with landmines. If that isn't enough of a deterrent, and claymores or even some bouncing betties.
"Entry Fee (min one):
- Carrot
- Apple

That way you get duck (or human) food for free.
Give the ducks a nice shower/sprinkler set up that's both timer and manually controlled.
Motion controlled
depending on where you're from you can hang up a sign saying "trespassing Children will be converted to Islam"
Get you some geese
Pro tip - feed them a handful of dandelion leaves twice a day, they'll be your best friends
I had geese once. It was awful lol
Put up a sign that says “WARNING: rabid ducks, enter property at own risk”
