Woke up to find momma on the eggs and daddy standing guard right at my front door in a flower bed. My dog is going ape shite and the kids play basketball every night in the driveway.

So you're saying duck and duck eggs are on the menu the next couple of days?

Nice.

I wouldn't. You don't know fear until you've pissed off a momma duck.

Good chance that seagull will be you if you do. But honestly, I wouldn't move them. Are they that much of an issue being where they are?

Absolutely you can move them. Are you skeered of a little tweety bird?

Isn't it just slightly illegal to disturb certain kinds of nesting ducks and their eggs?

The momma duck will be tough to move. She may sit on the eggs after you move it, but once they hatch she may not be able to nurse them. A duck's milk production can be stunted by traumatic experience. If she does not care for them, you will need to go to a vet to get a duck milk substitute and that stuff ain't cheap. Good luck.

Family friend has a pond behind their house with 50-75 Mallards and Mixed breeds that call it home. Ducks are always laying eggs in her flower beds. She took a bail of hay broke it up, put the eggs in the hay and they all hatched. Sometimes she eats the eggs though. Them frickers are nasty, they will certainly shite all over the place if you feed them.
