We love our ducks too! They were definitely surprising. We got 2 older ducks after our 6 ducklings. When we introduced them it was the cutest thing. They started acting like this little family and the ducklings would follow them around. Mind you the ducklings I'm talking about were a month old at the time but it was still gosh darn adorable!!

They do act like a little family! We just have the two ducks (they are temporarily in the chicken tractor until Andrew finishes a duck house for them). The chickens go in to roost at sundown, but the ducks haven't figured out how to follow them up the ramp. They panic and peep-quack until we come in the tractor, and they run to Andrew so he can put them in the coop. It's adorable/sad/adorable.
haha ours aren't big fans of us despite having 6 of them since they were one week old. Ours will probably live with our chickens when we get chickens, still thinking the duck/chicken living arrangements through. I did read ducks don't like ramps
Yeah, we're figuring as much. The shared space with the chickens is temporary until we get their much more duck-friendly accommodations finished.
