Aggressive duck

Do you get any quacks out of them? I think they’re both Golden 300 Females.

One of them at least definitely quacks. Mostly they mutter like the frogs.

I watched the video yesterday of someone identifying if their ducks were female or male... They picked them up and rolled them towards their back and they would either quack or they would make the male noise (they were kind of raspy quacks)

I was trying to identify if my Pekin was a male or female and I wasn't sure of the noise that a male would make. So this video helped me because I think mine is a female. She quacks and doesn't shut up all day.

Thank you for that! My other ducklings have not even made a noise. Making me worried... The muscovy that are 5 weeks make zero noise not even peeping. The "runners" still peep but they are definitely only a few weeks old. That Pekin is HUGE now! No wonder why her legs were so bent! They grow massive

Muscovy size will tell the tale soon. Be sure to post pics once they are around 8-10 weeks but you can share pics now too.

I'll get some tomorrow. They're starting to get their wing feathers. The wobbly one isn't growing as fast. If I have a drake and duck I'd be so happy but I'm afraid to breed the wobbly one unless she makes a miraculous turn around. We've been doing the b complex in her mouth twice a day. I've seen zero improvement

This could very well be genetic or an injury that messed up something that just didn't heal right. I def wouldn't breed her with out knowing for sure if she'd pass it on. I have used my Muscovy to hatch Runners and Buffs for me.

I was thinking about getting Muscovy hatching eggs and hatching some of my own to see if I can get a female. I'm giving her a month to heal then we will figure out a game plan. We don't want to euthanize her because she's eating, pooping, and drinking fine. She may just need her own pen. Maybe I can find her another disability duck friend
