I think my duck lost her voice! I haven't heard her quack in weeks, and this evening she is making all the mouth movements, but nothing is coming out. Even when the two get separated the drake will call for her, but she doesn't answer. Has anybody had this happen?
Yes I only have one of each. He is NOT mean with her at all, and they don't mate an excessive amount. Maybe a couple times a week. He is just so mean to the chickens that they live with. I got them all at the same time and he just will not be nice to them anymore.
My mallard is 6 months old now. Since she hasn't laid an egg yet does that mean she will not until spring? Also when is mating season over for them? I'm getting tired of my drakes attitude! :barnie
My mallard has been walking around a lot lately making a new sound. It sounds like a whine or a soft cry. She is almost 6 months old. Other than the sounds everything is the same. Could it be a sign she will lay an egg soon?
At what age do they start to mate? I have a pair that is 14 weeks old and I saw them trying to today. It's that a little early? When should I be expecting eggs?
