Habitat

Habitat: Freshwater Lakes, Rivers, Ponds, Wetlands Place of Origin: United Kingdom These animals originally came from the United Kingdom, where they have been raised and cared for by people for many years.

We’re the lively flock behind all the quacks at the duck pond! Since 2017, we’ve grown from a handful of ducks to over 30, along with our four goose friends. You’ll find us waddling up to visitors, splashing in the pond, and soaking up the attention. Each spring, we lay eggs that are carefully incubated in the petting barn—sometimes right in front of curious eyes! From fluffy ducklings to full-grown waddlers, we’re a big part of farm life and love making new friends.
