Poop.
Poop everywhere.

Do you own a pond? Do you own a decent sized outside space to keep them?
They're wild animals. Unless you rear them from hatch, then they're highly unlikely to actually want human physical contact with you- and the the anon is correct, I highly doubt you'll ever toilet train a duck, so expect them to just poo everywhere.
Afraid it's not the best of ideas- but if you have a garden with some water outside, then they'd be a nice feature to look at and duck eggs are delicious. Be aware you'll need to fox proof any house for them.

I don't think Muscovy ducks NEED ponds, just larger water dishes, but it certainly couldn't hurt.

>getting a duck
Have you ever had any experience with an adult one? Sure they're cute when they're small, but that doesn't last very long. Then you have an adult duck that needs space for itself and for its poop, which you can easily get bored of.

This.
I volunteered at a zoo that had a duck that imprinted on people. Be prepared for noise complaints if the duck makes a lot of noise when you leave, assuming it's imprinted on you.

Easy to keep until that tur-duck-en thanksgiving dinner...

Chickens but harder to take care of but more sociable and cuddly.
