What matters is progressing in the game until you come to the right room. You should notice several of these ducks just by playing, but below, you will find where they can all be found. If any of these locations are blocked by a locked door, you will need to progress further into the game. You should have all of these locations unlocked by the time you havemade your way through Chapter 5.
