Stardew Valley's charming ducklings display adorable behavior: they consistently follow nearby adult ducks! This heartwarming detail, recently shared by player Milkammy on r/StardewValley, highlights the game's remarkable attention to detail. The discovery, made while reorganizing their animal coops, delighted the community, garnering over 1,600 upvotes.
Ducks, purchasable for 1,200 gold with a Big Coop, might not be the most popular livestock choice (chickens, pigs, and cows often take precedence), but they provide valuable Duck Eggs and Duck Feathers. These items are useful for selling, gifting, or crafting recipes like Duck Mayonnaise.
Millammy's observation sparked further player anecdotes. Some noted that ducklings even follow their parents when swimming, a sight more common on beach farms. Others pointed out that this "following" behavior isn't unique to ducklings; young chickens exhibit similar traits.
This isn't the first time a hidden detail in Stardew Valley has surfaced. Recent discoveries include the ability to stack furniture (an accidental finding) and the regrowth of trees outside the farm – a useful feature for acquiring wood.
These ongoing discoveries reaffirm Stardew Valley's depth and enduring appeal, constantly rewarding players with charming surprises within its richly detailed world.
