The Duck Horn
Introducing, the Duck Horn! Feed Ducks to unlock special rewards from Walter. Get all four of the rewards to unlock an exclusive Duck Potato Crop Packet!
If you are level 10 or higher, you will see the following pop-up. Click on the “Sure” button to get started.
Using the Duck Horn:
The Duck Horn feature has four stages. Each stage requires a certain amount of Duck Feedings. When you feed your Ducks, they will fill your Duck bar. Once your bar is full, you can harvest the Duck Horn.
To see your bar, click on the Duck Horn to open the main menu. Your bar is located on the bottom of this screen. The number at the bottom of the bar indicates how many Duck Feedings you need and your current progress towards this goal.
As you complete each stage you will unlock a new reward. The stages and respective rewards are as follows:
- Stage 1: Consumables (Water, Fertilizer, Power, Coins)
- Stage 2: Water Iris Decoration (Note: You can only place this Decoration on the River)
- Stage 3: Consumables (Water, Fertilizer, Power, Coins)
- Stage 4: Duck Habitat (Note: You can place this Decoration on both land and the River)
Once you have fed enough Ducks, you will be able to harvest your Horn by clicking on it.
The more Ducks you have on the farm and the more Speed-Feed you use to feed them, the faster you fill your bar. In addition, feeding Prized Ducks counts twice!
If you do not want to wait to fill the Duck bar, you can use Farm Bucks to skip these steps and get the next reward right away!
Duck Potato Crop Packet:
Once you have earned all four of your Duck Horn rewards, you can claim your Duck Potato Crop Packet! The Duck Potato Crop is used in high value recipes in the Crafting Kitchen and Prized Duck Potatoes are worth more points at the County Fair. If you would like a tutorial on the Crafting Kitchen and County Fair, please view our Official Guides: Crafting Kitchen & County Fair.
Click the “Share and Go To Market” button to purchase your first Packet for Coins.
Additional Information:
- You are limited to one Duck Horn per farm.
- You have 10 days to earn the Duck Horn rewards. If you do not collect them all, the rewards will disappear and you will be unable to claim them.
- Feeding Sheep, Cows, Pigs, Goats, Horses, Peacocks, Buffaloes, Alpacas, and Chickens does not count towards the Duck Horn. Only feeding Ducks (Adult and Prized) will count.
- If you want to see how much time you have left to claim your rewards, hover your cursor over the Horn.

Now that the Duck House is almost complete, you will need a little help from your Neighbors to finish the job. The Duck House requires four additional helpers, so click on the “Ask Friends” button to send some crew requests to your Friends. When they accept, you will see the spots in the Build Menu begin to fill. If you do not wish to wait for your friends, click on the “Hire One” button to purchase crew members with Farm Bucks.
Using the Duck House:
Click on the Duck House to open the main menu.
Inside the Duck House, you will see placements that you can fill with Prized Ducks. Prized Ducks will take up one spot in your House regardless of breed (see below: American Pekin Duck).
Adding & Removing Ducks:
To add Prized Ducks in the House, check the “Auto Fill” box and click on the green “Add Prized Ducks” button. All of your Prized Ducks will automatically waddle into the House!
To remove a Prized Duck from the House, open the main menu and click on the red “–“ (minus symbol) box on the bottom left hand corner of the placement slot (see below: A).
The Duck cards have symbols on them to indicate different things:
A. Minus Symbol: Remove Ducks
B. Feed: How much Feed the Ducks will consume

D. Mastery: Animal Mastery Ribbons

C. White Feathers: How much the Ducks will produce (see below: Feeding)
D. Mastery: Animal Mastery Ribbons
Feeding:
Prized Ducks stored in the House will eat half of the amount of Feed they normally do. For example, a Duck that eats 10 Feed outside of the House will eat 5 Feed when inside the House. Note: Any Prized Duck that would normally eat an odd amount of feed outside of the Duck House will be rounded up by one. For example, a Duck that would normally eat 9 Feed will only need 5 Feed when stored in the Duck House.
White Feathers:
Each time you harvest the Duck House you will get White Feathers, which can be used in Crafting Workshop Recipes. Fill your Duck House all the way to get the most White Feathers when you harvest!
Note: The White Feathers will automatically go into your Inventory.
Additional Information:
- The timer for your Duck House will pause when placed in Storage, and then resume once placed back on your farm.
- If you do not wish to use the Duck House feature, it can be sold (frame only) or stored in your Inventory.
- If you want to see how much time you have left to harvest, hover your cursor over the House.
- You are limited to one Duck House per farm.
- Rotate the House to view a different angle!
