depends what kind you get, and if you can keep them contained, like in a penned in area. musgovies get big and like to roam, but there are some smaller ducks that might be fine.
some things you need to consider are
-is it cool with your parents?
-is it cool with your neighbors?
-you will have to buy food for them.
-their safety (cats, dogs, foxes, raccoons, cars, etc.)
-they poop A LOT
-they need water (like a pond or kiddie pool)
-they arent very cuddly or social, you might not be able to hold them or anything.

I used to have musgovies too. I agree with everything alix2.0 said. I had a little kid pool for them and if you don't get them used to you while the ducks are babys, you'll never catch them. I have a few pictures of them, ill go find them and post some pictures in about 10-15 min.

Here are the pictures.
Here is a picture of my most favorite duck. Her name is Donald duck lol. Oh, and she is a mother of about 15-20 baby's. She had baby's like 4-5 times already. Each batch of baby's she had was like 15-20.
Here is a picture of that bunch.
Here is a picture of me holding one of the baby's I was making fun of LOL. I found a feather and put it on its head like an Indian LOL.

If you have a pond you could raise a group of mallards from babies and release them once grown and they will hang. My brother lives in Wyoming and has like half a dozen he did that with but in his case he lets them run free in the spring summer but come fall they go in the coup with the chickens lest they do what birds do and fly south for the winter.
We had some mallards that hung with us growing up as long as we maintained a little pond for them. There was a good sized pond about a block from our house but as long as we fed them and kept up a pond they stayed. Duck eggs are good eatin so its worth going to the trouble of keeping them. While they doo doo the poo poo they also keep the bugs down so its a trade off.
