Duck Diplomacy: Adorable Secret Uncovered in Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley's heartwarming secret: ducklings follow their moms! A player recently shared a delightful discovery within the beloved farming simulator: ducklings faithfully trail nearby adult ducks. This charming detail adds another layer of realism to Stardew Valley's already richly detailed world.

Ducks, purchasable for 1,200 gold with a Big Coop, may not be the top choice for profit compared to chickens, pigs, or cows, but they provide valuable resources like Duck Eggs and Duck Feathers, useful for selling, gifting, or crafting items such as Duck Mayonnaise.

Player Milkammy, while reorganizing their animal coops, noticed this adorable behavior. The ducklings' unwavering devotion to their adult counterparts delighted Milkammy and the Stardew Valley community, garnering over 1,600 upvotes on their Reddit post.

Comments on Milkammy's post revealed similar observations. Ducklings even follow their mothers into the water on beach farms! This isn't unique to ducks; some players noted similar behavior in chickens.
