Do your female ducks argue

[KathiQuacks]

I actually have a few videos on my old phone that I'd really appreciate you checking out .

For sure! Link them here, I’d love to look at them

I've actually really been wanting to do similar studies myself as well, can you recommend any reading or good resources to me on duck behavior?

Most of my studying has been personal - observing my own ducks / other people’s ducks So I don’t really have any resources on-hand, I’m sorry.

Do my 3 Muscovy squabble? Yes! But only as sisters that love each other. There is the occasional peck for no good reason with the responding dramatic errkkk. You can't separate 'em. They swim, free range, sleep, fly around the pecan grove, and visit the feeder with each other.

Piper (chocolate and white muscovy) and Tammy (Khaki) shut down any disagreements in their respective groups without issue

I don't notice any squabbling among my ducks. They do, however, mercilessly harangue and boss their drake around. Yesterday I noticed two ducks had somehow gotten into the sheep field and there was quite a bit of drama among ducks on each side of the fence. The two ducks finally found their way back to the flock and immediately chewed out the drake for not coming to their rescue!

Hi everyone! Does anyone else have female ducks that argue (just verbally) with each other? LOL!!

My beautiful but tomboyish female crested duck Eminem (I thought she was a boy when I got her) and my equally gorgeous Rouen Freddie are always arguing with each other. I will hear one quack loudly "AH-AH-AH-AH!!" And then right after the other will respond "AH-AH-AH-AH!!" This can go on for as long as 15 minutes. If Freddie stops responding, Eminem will keep trying to get a reaction from her "AH-AH-AH-AH!! AH-AH-AH-AH..? AH-AH-AH-AH!!" before giving up.

What makes this even more funny to me is that the last time this happened, we caught Freddie's boyfriend Onyx (a very handsome Swedish Black duck), cheating on Freddie with her sister Kingsley (also a Rouen) while Freddie took a nap. It was like Eminem was trying to get a rise out of her (LOLOLOL)

Now Freddie and Kingsley will both walk up to Eminem and Kingsley will make this adorable but very mocking sounding noise "BAHBAHBAHBAHBAH!!" Which in turn makes Eminem furious and she charges towards the fence (they're separated) "Let me at them let me at them!!" And her friends Roy and Poseidon will try to hold her back.

My 2 deer runner mix sisters argue all the time! They're hilarious!
