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 (chickens, pigs, and cows often win out), but they provide valuable Duck Eggs and Duck Feathers. These can be sold, gifted, or used in recipes like Duck Mayonnaise.

Player Milkammy, while organizing their animal coops, noticed this adorable behavior. The ducklings' unwavering devotion to their mothers charmed the Stardew Valley community, garnering over 1,600 upvotes on their post. Comments revealed similar observations: ducklings even follow their mothers into the water on beach farms! Interestingly, this isn't unique to ducks; some players noted similar behavior in chickens.

This isn't the first time Stardew Valley's depth has surprised players. Recent discoveries include stackable furniture (an accidental find!) and the regrowth of trees outside the farm – a useful feature for acquiring wood.

These ongoing discoveries highlight Stardew Valley's enduring appeal: a seemingly familiar world that continuously reveals charming and unexpected details.
