The large group was in Eastbourne Road in Ridgewood, near Uckfield, on August 15.
The East Sussex Wildlife Rescue and Ambulance Service was sent to the scene and helped residents move the ducks through a housing estate and to a local pond, where they then settled in.

Founder of the charity Trevor Weeks MBE said: “The ducks are clearly not wild, and have been bred somewhere, and either escaped or been dumped.
“The ducks were reluctant to go anywhere as they clearly didn’t know where they were or what direction to go in.
“Our priority was to get them somewhere safe and to ensure they were not a road hazard.
“This is certainly an unusual situation, but not the first time.
“Sussex Police called for our assistance a few years ago for over 200 ducks on the A21 at Hurst Green. These are thought to have escaped from a rearing enclosure.”
The ducks have not been spotted on the road since.
