Ducks are some of Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life's cutest animals, with their round and fluffy plumage. Players who enjoy animal care in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life may be eager to know when they can get ducks or how they might attract them to the farm.
As many may expect, it's often a waiting game for new animals like ducks as players' farms gradually grow in size and animal population. Fortunately, unlocking ducks in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is straightforward, and players don't have to wait too long for their new feathered friends to arrive.
How to Get Ducks in Story Of Seasons: A Wonderful Life
To get ducks in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, players must first purchase the pond for 10,000G from the Order Facilities menu in the Ledger. However, the pond or ducks won't show up straight away. If players buy the pond in year 1, players must wait for Takakura to say the pond is ready in the coming days afterward. Ducks unlock during the summer of year 2, approximately around day 2, providing there is enough space in the coop.
If players marry Gustafa in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, one day early in Summer, he tells players that ducks appeared at the pond. The event triggers whoever the players' character marries. Players should select the dialogue option to let the ducks stay. They then get to name each duck before they move into the coop to live with the chickens if players own those.
How to Look After Ducks in Story Of Seasons: A Wonderful Life
Ducks eat bird feed, purchasable for 100G each, so feeding ducks is pretty simple as the food lasts a while before it needs topping up. The ducks also enjoy spending time outside, so letting all birds out to pasture with the other farm animals is good for their health. Snuggling also increases affection in this farming game. Players can check their ducks' health and affection meters on the chalkboard in the coop.
Ducks can lay regular eggs, but like hens, the female duck can also lay pink fertilized eggs. If players put fertilized eggs inside the incubator, they can breed ducks and chicks. The eggs soon hatch into a new baby duckling or chick, eventually growing into a fully matured bird, with space for up to 16 birds and 2 incubators if players buy the Coop Upgrade for 100,000G.
