A place where ducks are kept, bred, or raised; or a collection of ducks.
From 'duck' plus the suffix '-ery' (from Old French, meaning a place associated with something). Similar formations include 'bakery' and 'fishery,' all indicating locations of productive activity.
In Shakespeare's time, 'duckery' referred to fancy ornamental duck ponds on estates—some were designed by famous landscape architects and became destinations for nobles wanting to show off their refined taste.
