Ducks Add Charm to Stardew Valley Gameplay

Author:Kristen Update:Dec 12,2024

Stardew Valley's charming details continue to delight players! A recent discovery highlights the adorable behavior of ducklings, who consistently follow their adult counterparts. This endearing detail adds another layer of realism to the already immersive world of Stardew Valley.

Ducks, purchasable for 1200 gold with a Big Coop, may not be the most popular livestock choice (chickens, pigs, and cows often take precedence), but they provide valuable resources like Duck Eggs and Duck Feathers. These items can be sold, gifted, or used in recipes such as Duck Mayonnaise.

Player Milkammy, on r/StardewValley, shared their observation of ducklings' unwavering loyalty to adult ducks. This heartwarming detail, initially noticed while reorganizing their animal coops, quickly garnered over 1600 upvotes.

The community responded enthusiastically, with some players noting that this following behavior extends to swimming ducks and their ducklings, particularly noticeable on beach farms. Others pointed out that similar behavior is observed in chickens.

This isn't the first time a hidden gem has been unearthed in Stardew Valley's richly detailed world. Recent discoveries include the ability to stack furniture (an accidental find!) and the regrowth of trees outside the farm, a useful feature for obtaining Wood.
