Duck crying?

[Buttercup725]

I had three ducklings and now have two. The third I had to send back to the farm where I got her because she was becoming a bully and was super anxious and my other two ducks were feeding off of her anxiety. My duck, Dill (6 weeks old), has been making a new sound. It almost sounds like chirping but not duckling chirps. Could it be possible that this sounds is due to the third duck not being around anymore?

Do they still make peeping noises? I'm wondering if it's a quack developing. Can you post a recording?

His chirps are definitely gone by now and has developed his big boy voice. I’ll try to make a recording!

You can record a video, maybe, and upload it to YouTube.

I'm sorry your other duck didn't work out, but you gotta do what keeps the peace.

Here’s a link to the video

She made it hard to connect with so there wasn’t much of a bond there. I’m just glad that I was able to give her a home with plenty of other ducks. My other ducks have become laid back and social like the used to be.

Sounds like a girl quack developing???

Possibly, it was just odd that it coincided with the other duck having to be removed. I’d feel horrible if Dill is upset.

If she is, she is very young and will move past it. I have adopted a couple of adult ducks who spent a few days moping but recovered quickly.

Just sounds like your girls voice is just changing. I usually find they go super quiet when they are missing a duck or belting loud. They look fairly content overall. I had one duck, when her voice changed, she talked all the time. I am pretty sure she liked the sound of her own voice

I think that would describe pretty mild ch every duck ever!
