Just thinking about getting ducks… I have a lot of questions

Thanks. I'll think think abput the noise levels and everything


But I've heard guineas and they aren't THAT bad

I mean when they scream. Not their normal noises.

Calls are extremely loud. So if you're sensitive to noise (sounds like you're all good there), or your neighbor is sensitive to noise, I'd go with a different breed. If everyone is okay with it - go for it!

Thanks! I'd probably be at a psychiatrist by now if I was sensitive to noise. Lol

Here a little interesting history:

Call ducks are one of the only ducks bred for their voice. Hunter would keep them in crates next to them and their quaking or "call" would attract wild ducks. Today hunters don't really use Call ducks anymore. Call ducks are now used as pets and for shows.

So I know a person who's hatching Indian runners now!


Do you think I should get them instead of the Calls? Because of the noise/size?

I would definitely get runners instead of calls! I love runners!

Me too! Their body position is hilarious. And reading through the older posts a lot of people said they aren't loud. Do you think so too?

I have hookbills, khaki Campbells, pekins and Indian runners.. Out of all of them the runners are the most quiet.
