Da' Cute and Cuddly Call Duck thread!

[chickenlittle84]

Just curious of my calls is a really loud squawker and the other just quietly chirping do you think its likely a male and female?

I guessed the gender of my muscovies this way a couple weeks ago, and since they're only 4 weeks old I can't be sure. But it looks like the 2 quiet ducklings are starting to outgrow the noisy one and "she" is almost fully feathered while the suspected boys are only halfway.

Sorry that was supposed to say "if one of my calls"

how old are they? You can't reliably voice sex till 8 weeks but my calls usually start to change around 4 weeks.

The calls are about 2 weeks old....they same age my muscovies were when I first noticed that only 1 of the 3 was making noises. The yellow call duckling is way louder, with a high pitched quack while the darker one is just making a quiet chattery chirping.
