I've got 6 fawn and white girls. Only ONE is a loud mouth! Just one and it's really something! The other 5 girls are quite. My one little drake (the black one in the avatar) sounds like a little frog. So I guess it just depends on the ducks, at least in my duck world. Kinda like some people are loud and some aren't. The females will mount each other "in season" and that is normal. Not sure what they think they're doing but they do it!
I do have a kiddie pool!I would recommend Welsh Harlequin ducks are they are to heavy to fly and have beautiful mallard-like colors. I have 7 Welsh Harlequins who have never flown in the 2-4 years that I’ve had them. As for space. A 6x6x6 area should be plenty. Do you have a swimming pool/pond for your duckies? I use 3 kiddie pools for my seven ducks and have to clean them out every couple weeks.
Hope you enjoy your ducks! If you have any questions, just ask!
That’s great! It is so much fun to watch adorable ducks/ducklings swimming, preening, and splashing around in their ponds. I’m laughing just thinking about it!I do have a kiddie pool!

Do you get a lot of eggs from them? That’s one of my main reasons for getting into ducks is for their eggs!From what I’ve noticed, the Welsh Harlequins are pretty quiet unless you are relatively late for feeding time. The males seem to make more noise than the females. The females stay pretty quiet however, while they are eating worms or bugs they make the most adorable happy noises!
I think the muttlings about 15 feet from me are part runners, but, my guess is there is only one hen. Plus, they are already promisedYou need some female Runners
They don’t yell for a drake but if there is one around, they head bob and cluck.our loud Rouen would head bob a lot around the K/C drake we had to re home. He would ignore her and go after the Pekin.
