quacking

This is Becky, my mallard. She has always had a very spirited and sassy personality, but lately, she has been very stand-offish, doing some very gruff quacking and hunching her neck down/ruffling her feathers every time she sees me. In the picture, you can see that her neck is hunched down—I...

Hi all!:frow I hope everyone is well and having a nice weekend! My babies are now just turning 2 weeks old and a couple seem to have started making some new vocalisations... I would probably describe it as ‘VOOT’ if that makes any sense at all- haha :lau one runner is also absolutely massive...

I have had a single duck I found as an egg for 12 weeks now and due to a bunch of circumstances (having to temporarily surrender her to WIRES because they thought she was a native, 2 different coop shipments being cancelled/delayed/sent to the wrong address/parts missing) we have only just got...

I have two Pekin Ducks about two months or so and one of them has a really loud quack but the other isn’t really quacking at all and seems like he can’t quack. I was wondering if this is something to be worried about or if he’s just not going to quack. This has been like this since they stopped...

Hello, I have five male and two female call ducks and they are my babies!! However, my two females, mainly the youngest one (6mnths old) are 'calling' nearly all of the time, every 20/30 mins or so. At first I thought it was hilarious and cute (and I still do) but now I'm worried neighbours...

This is my first ever batch that I’m incubating. I have 10 Rouhen duck eggs at day 26. I had 3 pip yesterday!! I am concerned about the humidity. I did not realize the importance of a hygrometer since I’m new at this, so I never bought one. I’ve been watching their air cell and adjusting...

So I've read multiple forums about a change in a duck's quack, but I haven't found anything similar to my situation. I have three Khaki Campbells that are very bold and two dogs that don't have any interest in the ducks whatsoever. Yesterday I gave the dogs their food outside, and the ducks went...

Okay, so I have two ducks, one Ancona and one Indian runner who is blind in one eye. I also have thee Isa Browns and they all best beautifully in their coop at night and lay eggs in the nesting box attached to the coop. My two ducks sleep under the coop at night however now my Indian runner is...

Hi, I'm wondering if someone can please help me as I'm worried. I have a 5 year old khaki campbell she's got an amazing personality she's always talking if she hears me she's normally quacking to get my attention. She even knows when I walk in the house and cough or if I get up in the night...

Is this her first quack? It's 15 days old duckling and I'm hoping it's a girl. I first noticed her quacking yesterday. She seems to do this sound when fully relaxed just before she goes to sleep. During the day, all peeps - no quacks.
