They are just telling each other which Hen is theirs and if they touch her it will be game on. lolAnd now for something completely different...
Is there a body of knowledge about how/what drakes communicate?
Ours just keeps murmuring all day long. It's a nice pleasant sound, like a very small but talkative frog. But it goes on and on. We enjoy it but are curious as to what he could be "talking about".

Happy Easter to you also.Hoppy easter from the south!!
As demonstrated above, the common Muscovy dux' strong telepathic abilities make her victims believe they are in control, when i fact they have long been overwhelmed by the incredible dux power.Getting a Muscovy or two is never a bad idea!
And don't listen to Hillbilly, mine are absolute darlings. Or rather, I don't let them get away with anything!
This is how Pinball Duck got her name, in 2020 she was broody, running around in the duck-yard bumping into everybody, running the largest drakes into the ground and yelling at everything. This is her in 2021:My Mallard hen will make awful noises whenever she leaves her nest just daring someone to come near it. The rest of the ducks have always left her alone with the exception of one year when only one hatched and somehow it landed out in the middle of the duck pen after a big rain drowned. I blamed it on the drake I had at the time because he wanted to mate with her again. After that she deserted the nest and gave up on it. They make great Momma's but I have had mine leave her ducklings as early as 3 weeks when it was still cold out but they all huddled together and survived just fine which surprised me.
Who doesn't want to join the wild Turkeys and live a free life out in the woods, free of the burden of egg-laying and tick-eating…They eat layer feed/all flock, they are usually the bullies in the flock and are extremely loud. If you don’t want them flying off in the distance keep them in the run and coop until 4-5 mouths. Clip their wings. My friend has guineas and some wild turkeys stopped by and the guineas went with them!! Very good free rangers and will forge well. You can keep them with chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys. I have found that guineas and geese don’t fight and have had the least problems keeping them together. If you have male guineas and roosters get rid of one species males. I have had guickens a chicken/Guinea cross so there’s that too. They also make very good alarm birds, but are extremely stupid and will have their faces in a predators face!! Overall they are good birds just really loud.

According to @Magnolia Ducks the drakes say "vent, vent, vent…" all day long, referring to their favorite part of the female duck's body.And now for something completely different...
