Oh boy..first time duck owner

[WickedChicksNH]

I got two little cutie runner ducks today, I have only had them for a few hours.

Zeke (all black and Gabby with the yellow) I actually have no idea what gender they are
However Gabby has already got me trained. I set up their area which they are also sharing with two new chicks.
they get all cuddled and sleep, ya know after I gave them all snuggles and talks

I leave the room, and I hear peep peep, ya know what I mean. I go in and there is Gabby standing straight up peeping away, I walk over and sit down with them and boop she falls back to sleep, and this happened 3 more times.

Well the last time I am downstairs and here it for awhile and say OK I don't mind giving some love, and there is Gabby out of her container peeping away, she comes over to me I hold her she runs up my shoulder and rest on my neck.

She is always popping her head up looking around.

I thought i was safe having a container 9 inches high for now because I thought ducks wouldn't try to get out of them the first week or so. wronggg.

I know they will all eventually jump in and out of it, but they are in my office with me and i work from home so I will be here with them, It's how I raised my other chicks and they are the sweetest, but she is very keen on everything I am doing already.. Zeke is like Meh. I am comfy here under the heat lamp.
is this normal duck behavior so young?

Thanks

How old are they?
My ducklings bonded with one another since they are in a building outside and only see me about 2 hours a day. But, I have read other posts whose ducklings behave this way.

Sounds normal to me. They probably imprinted on you and thus of course want to be with you all the time.
