I had a pair of Mallards at my old place , the pond was right near my front door ….

Okay, I have to know. With you letting the ducks in on that light colored rug/carpet. You didn't do the house cleaning did you . That's the kind of ducks I had as a kid, mallards.

So, I have always wondered, if it was true or an old wise tale. If you hatch a duck or chicken and the first thing they see is you, do they think you are their momma? Where they follow you every place you go, like they would their momma. I have always heard it, never hatched an egg to know if it works or not.

Yes, it is called imprinting.
I once saw a duck who was imprinted on a blk Lab. They escaped their yard and were wondering the neighborhood. Poor duck was running it's little feet off trying to keep up with the dog.

Thanks. I thought it was, heard a lot of stories, just never really knew. I can imagine that poor duck trying to keep up with a dog, too funny, yet kinda sad

 

[N2TORTS]

Absolutely ….and with these species..(hard to capture with pic .. you need video ) …they run v^v^v^ right behind you standing fully erect. It’s a riot to see the little one’s keeping up .. They are fast! ….and those big goofy feet….when babies look soooo funny!
And when pooped out ... will nestle right up to you and sit on your shoulder just like a parrot .
And yes .....Barb ... I clean my own house...,,,,,,,, I just have help now!

and trust me those ducks didnt get past the front entry ....

Haha awe! I loved all the SUPER cute duckling pics! The imprinting was neat!! I think it would be so cool to raise a baby duck, just the poop.... There's a pond a couple blocks from our house that has tons of ducks, ducklings, geese, and some gorgeous Canadian geese!! I live in northern Texas.

I love all these pics! I had never heard of this type of a duck. I also always wondered if the imprinting thing was true. They are just so adorable!
