They are FAST as ducklings. Like, crazy fast. Encouraging them to coop-up was a struggle for a bit because they had zero qualms about ditching the other ducksmates and running in other directions, lol. It resolved itself after a week or so.
The two I have prefer to lay in a box nest inside...
I've got a couple golden 300 females right now. Great layers. Pretty consistently getting 5 to 7 eggs per duck/week. They LOVE foraging and are constantly looking for bugs and weeds to eat. As far as friendliness, they are definitely skittish but, not terrified of people. They will eat...
