Countdown to Ducklings! [a Journal]

[askem]

Should be soon.

Can you get a video of what they sound like?

The next time they're very talkative I will. One of them (can't figure out which one, they always do it when I'm sleeping) keeps whistling and it scares the heck out of me when they do it. Always wakes me up lol.

Heres Quackers quacking (first 45 seconds or so then he quits)

And heres meatball:

I think Meatball is a few days younger than Quackers so he doesn't quite got the adult break in his voice yet.

I think @CayugaJana might be your best bet since she has Pekins.

 

[Lil Drake40]

Oh and might be your dark glove that is scaring them.

No they're always like that no matter what, sadly :-(

90% sure quackers is a girl and 100% sure meatball is a boy.

That makes sense since Quackers is quite a bit louder than Meatball. Though its exactly what I didnt want to have happen since I can only have two ducks. We'll have to make it work though. I suspect plenty of drake jail for Meatball in the future.

Are females usually bigger? Quackers has a pretty noticeable few inches on Meatball. That's why I assumed they were different ages.

I am always hesitant to say boy or girl especially when they are just getting their voices.
It's nice for someone who has had Pekins at the ages of yours to weigh in.

They maybe different ages. Or maybe Quackers is just meatier [big boned] Likes to eat more? They sure are cute.

Everything scares them at the age they are now hopefully soon they will be over the worst of it.

Mine have been a lot different as far as size. I’ve had really small, all the way to jumbo type size. So I’d say that could be the case.

I sure hope so, Meatball definitely is a little more bold and they'll both calm down for cuddles once they're picked up but they sure act like I'm a monster sent to kill them.
