Dang it, Mr. Bil!

I was half asleep at about 5:30 because we'd had a long day. I heard a honk/quack noise that sounded like a duck in distress. I jump up, run to the window, and see the ducks sleeping peacefully. Wha?!?
I look over at the chickens.

Seems that Mr. Bil, our new cockerel, is practicing crowing.

hehehehe-mine started a week ago, it was pitiful!

It sounded like aroo. Now it's aroorooroo-hehehehe this was at 5:40 this morning! It was the first time I've heard it, my dh usually hears it and tells me later and imitates him for me! It isn't very high pitched yet, but goodness knows with a little bit more practice, he'll be right on target. Now when the other 4 get going-that ought to be a party....

Do ducks crow??

Sorry, I don't have ducks and don't know anything about them.

The chickens are near the ducks.
I thought it was a duck, but it was a chicken.
