You sound a little like me, when I bought my house I also got the flock with it so I’m learning a lot about chickens and ducks in the 8 weeks I’ve had them. I had to be told all the breeds I have too.

I have runners and hookbills and calls. They talk all the time, and not always to me. They do call when they see me for food or water. Sometimes they have conversations among themselves about the stuff they are eating, or whether someone is taking more than his share of bathtime.

Sometimes they scold the squirrels who are running around like mad now that it's squirrel mating season. If one set of ducks is out they walk around to all the other duck cages and trashtalk them. We're out and you're not. Ha, ha.

Sometimes they are just re-establishing the pecking order.

They don't all go sleep at night like the chickens do, so there are occasional conversations all night long. Also, they complain about the deer and armadillos and opossums digging around the cages at night, and the hawks and vultures in the sky during the day, and the dogs and coyotes barking in the distance, and the neighbor running his chainsaw, and somebody down the road revving his motor. I don't know what they expect me to do about any of that, so I just say, thanks for letting me know.
