Does a Duck Remember Their Name?

Why bother naming your ducks?

A duck can be taught to come when you use its name. Spending time with your ducks and using their names makes them feel comfortable around you, which makes it easier to handle them and to give health checks. Using the duck’s names can help speed up bringing them back into the coop at night after a day of free-ranging.

Tips For Naming Your Duck

Ducks make wonderful backyard pets and produce amazing eggs. And since they can live a long time, around 10 years or more, it makes sense to give your duck a name that you will be happy calling it for years to come.

Give the naming of your duck a little thought. Does it fit its personality? It’s coloring? Is it easy to say? Are you going to have to explain it every time you tell someone what your duck’s name is?

Good Duck Names

Duck names can be inspired by anything. You can use your imagination and come up with a completely unique name for your duck. Choose a name that is meaningful to you, and that you won’t mind if someone else hears you calling your duck.

What Should I Name My Duck?

I’ve had several ducks, but two of my favorites, (both the ducks and the names) were a couple of my first ducks.

We rescued a duckling that was wandering alone in a parking lot. Its mother had been hit by a car and there were no siblings around.

I brought him home and put him in the brooder. He started crying as soon as I shut the door. My daughter said he sounded like he was singing a solo. Solo stuck. We decided it was short for Hans Solo.

Since a duckling shouldn’t be alone, the next day I went down to the feed store and bought the only duckling they had. It was larger than Solo and was scared of its own shadow.

Every time I approached the brooder, it would try to hide behind the smaller Solo. That’s how Chewbacca got her name. Or Chewy for short.

I had both of those ducks for many years.

So, what are you going to name your ducks? Below are a bunch of names for ducks to get your creative juices flowing. Choose one of these or let these inspire you to come up with something unique.
