My ducks are around 10 weeks old. Based on the sounds they make, I've assumed we have 4 ducks, and 1 drake. However, one of the females has stopped making the usual duck noises, and started making a sqeeky repetitive sound (like the sound a swing set makes when swinging back and forth...creeek, creeek...creeek, creeek.) it's not like the drake's sound, but not like the other female sounds either. She's also started pecking at the other ducks, and pushing them out of the way...especially the drake. She won't let him near their water. No one fights back. Is she just making it known that she's top duck, is she changing sex to a male (I've read this is possible,) or is she really a male?
