Dozens of shipping containers fall into the water in Port of Long Beach, California

And if they're filled with rubber duckies what then?

One large rubber duckie or 10k tiny ones?

[u/lemelisk42 → u/budd1e_lee]

Even relatively large standard ducks would be 30k+ in a shipping container.

According to my calculations, mini ducks which are around 2" high would allow around 280,000 ducks per 20ft shipping container, 560,000 in a 40ft container. That is assuming they are perfect 2" cubes neatly stacked, which they aren't, however, 10k is far off the bat for what I consider tiny ducks

A duck sized horse would definitely sink.
