I recently took in two white pekin, full grown ducks. The woman who gave them to me had taken them from someone else and knew little about them. One of them is definitely a male, with a little curl on the tail and makes the drake squawking noise. The other, while the same age as the other, has no curl on the tale but does not quack like my other female ducks. The sound it makes is different than that of the drake. I am wondering if someone could have cut the vocal cords or somehow this duck just can't quack? I suppose it could be a drake that doesn't have a curly tail feather? The sound it makes just sounds like it doesn't have a voice and is trying to make noise, while the drake makes a definite drake noise. Anyway, I don't know if I want two more drakes added to my flock and am hoping this one is female, despite no quacking. Anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks
