Yeah, drakes can be testy to other drakes. It's normal. If you can have more than 1 pool and spread it apart that can help.

Well, it may depend on the breed some are more laid back than others. My gander was an Embden and he was pretty cranky from Mid Jan thru mid June, Biting is the worse so young children would have to be watched closely My grandkids could only be in with the birds when I could supervise. He never...

It's very interesting lol My first goose [gander] was hatched by my muscovy in 2007 he just passed away this past Feb he was such an awesome goose except during breeding season when he turned into a Special agent body guard to his mate Missy who is now 10. You really have to love geese to put up...

You ought to see geese do this it's really funny to see a grown goose start swimming under water then all of a sudden launch themselves out of the pool run with their wings open then jump back in. My ducks do it too.

They are so funny.

My Muscovy drake is the one who likes to get in and empty the pool he's a hoot. A little bigger than a Pekin but if both got in at the same time it would be empty in no time.

They just make us laugh.

Sure is, first time I saw this was many years ago, and panicked and made my Muscovy drake get off the female. lol

My drake will do the same thing after mating at other times too. Nothing to worry about.

That is exactly what my drake does in the pool and out of the pool . It has something drakes do "Hormones". My Muscovy drake doesn't do this.

They really are. My Muscovy drake doesn't do the weird sounds so you can imagine when my Runner drake started doing this I thought something was seriously wrong with him. He does this in water and out. My Runner Snoop is so cute of an evening when it's time to go inside he'll go in with some of...

I love my drakes too! They can be a handful but it’s still hard not to love them. And the girls love their drakes too.

My drake will all of a sudden bend forward then straighten up and I make a weird throat sound before taking off at a clip. Drakes are weird. Lol

Sounds just like a frog. lol Just like my drake.

:pop

That is a drake.

My Runners love to be sprayed

How old?

If it has the ability to fly it may just end up flying off. Some do come home but many are lost for good. I clip my Muscovy females one wing every fall after their big molt. My drake has never even tried to fly. Where we live they would never live one day or night outside of their fencing.
