My girl (Cheese) has just started doing this. A few months ago something grabbed my drake (Quackers) before I got him in for the night. I was lucky it didn’t kill her too. Anyway, she is lost without him. A few weeks ago she started running up to me and nibbling at my feet. She also lays down...
Curious about mine as well. I thought they were both females because none of their tail feathers curl under, but they are only 6 weeks old, maybe the curl doesn't happen until they are older?
The fawn runner is definitely a hen. She is loud!! The magpie only whistles.
So funny! We are going through the same thing! I love them and could care less about the quacking, but my neighbors might. The pacing back and forth in front of the screen door is a little disconcerting though. Hehe. Thank you for your reply. Good to know, anyway.
I'm so far I have one whistler and one quacker. But they are only 6 weeks old. I do have s question, though. Will they always freak out when I have to leave them to go in the house? Or walk away anywhere out of their sight? The tan one is loud!
Love the pics on here. I'm new to owning ducks but so far so good. They love me and seem happy.
I'm not, however, sure what kind I have. I thought the tan one was going to be a Pekin. But she's not. The other I'm thinking Magpie?
