Flowers ducks won’t eat?

[Schfam]

Good morning! I’m approaching my first planting season as a duck owner (3 Pekin hens). We let our ducks and chickens free range the yard when we are home, and I have a patio I usually keep lots of potted flowers and herbs around. My chickens don’t bother them, but I suspect the ducks will! Before I go investing in plants, I’m looking for suggestions of flowers they won’t touch. I know some are toxic and will do my research on that, but I’m having trouble finding information on plants they generally won’t be interested in. Will they eat petunias? Impatiens?
Can you share your experience with this? Thanks in advance!

I have lilies my ducks decimate each year -- they pull down the leaves to eat them. They also like to pull down ginger leaves. My ducks are good at eating weeds, too.

Here is an old thread:

Mine mostly avoid the bulbs and perennials looking for worms and dandilions, but decimated the bushy round leafed sedum in stores now (z6.) Ate off all the leaves off.

They avoid herbs: thyme, mints, sage, chamomile. I've seen ducks and geese test and reject the poppies.
