Ducks will be OK, the person who takes them in for the winter says they are being stubborn because they are so happy with the open water. He reassured me they do this each winter and one day they will just come home(even if they have to walk). He also added, that we should not feed them no matter how sorry we feel for them, this will only make it less attractive for them to come home to safety. I am content now that I spoke to their caregivers, but will still keep an eye out for them. Thank you all for your concern as well.

Ducks are being cared for by owner, no need to worry
