New ducklings

[MalaBoo]

I just brought home 6 ducklings that hatched today! 5 Khaki Campbell and 1 Peking! I'm curious about imprinting, will all or one imprint on me or will they imprint only with each other? I plan on spending tons of time with them daily. Also any beginners info would much appreciated! Temperament, good indoor/outdoor etc. TIA

Usually if you have multiple ducks they'll imprint on each other more than they will on you, so enjoy their friendly little baby days!
You can certainly make them friendlier as adults by spoiling them and spending lots of time with them at that age though.

I have 2 Pekins and a Khaki Campbell in my group of duckies. They're all very lovely - though I must say that the Pekins certainly love to talk a lot compared to my normally quiet khaki. The Pekin will also probably outgrow the rest of your babies really quickly!

Also I'd love to see some pictures of your babies!

Here are my new babies! And thank you for your response, I'm going to enjoy every moment with them

Well I just discovered that two are actually Rouen. So that's exciting lol

They're absolutely adorable!
I also have 2 rouen ducks - they're gonna also outgrow your little khaki's super fast with your pekin! They're also a fairly quiet and friendly breed in my experience.
