Grazing, foraging, splashing, resting, mating and laying eggs throughout the day can all form a certain time pattern. No nesting. There is no hatching capacity, and artificial incubation and brooding are required.

Ducklings have the following habits:

1.Water-loving: Ducks are waterfowl that like to play, swim, dive, mate, and find food in the water.

2.Resistant to cold and heat: Because the duck's subcutaneous fat is thicker, the down has good thermal insulation performance, and the duck's body surface has no sweat glands to assist in heat dissipation, so the duck has the habit of being cold and heat resistant.

3.Gregariousness: Ducks like to live in groups, and very few will be isolated from the group.

4.Regularity of life: Ducks have good conditioned reflexes and are very responsive.

5.Sensitivity: Ducks are timid and easily frightened by external influences, such as sudden fright or adverse stress, which can easily lead to reduced egg production or even production stoppage.

6.Rough resistance: Ducks are resistant to rough feeding and have strong foraging ability, so they do not have high requirements for feed.
