Lesbian ducks or just a smaller drake with no curly tail?

[KerryS]

I have two Cayugas (F) and two Ancondas (M & F). I thought I only had one male in the bunch, but my one Cayuga keeps humping the other one! I fully support their lifestyle, and don't want to get in the way of true love, but at the same time, if it's just a whacked out drake, that's too many drakes for 2 females to handle. The duck in question (Moss is her name) keeps humping Fern, but doesn't have any other characteristics of being, well.... male. No curly feathers. They're both the same size. What gives?

Hens mount too..All Ducks are very sexual during breeding season...Has nothing to do with being lesbian...lol...

Pick the drake up, listen to the sound he makes then pick up the "hen" and listen to the sound "she" makes, it it is the same as the drake then it is a drake, pick up a for sure hen and see what sound she makes, hens sound different than drakes, I am not sure how i could tell show an example of what they sound like on here so just listen to your for sure drake then your for sure hen and then listen to the "hen" and see if "she" make a hen call or a drake call. Also, you could watch Moss mount the other hen, ducks are one of few species of birds that have a penis, watch to see if Moss uses "her" penis during the mount. If she does then Moss is not a she. Also, if you do not want to watch and see the ducks penis then wait and see what they do after sex, usually the drake will run around with his head low to the ground and act really proud. And if you don't know what a duck penis looks like, you are looking for a pink corkscrew that's like 5 inches long.

Yea, ducks are very sexual birds, I have had drakes mount other drakes while they mount a hen, I have had hens mount drakes when they mount a hen and I have had hens mount hens. Ducks are crazy little birds

I have witnessed this with my own ducks. I am new to ducks and purchased 1 drake and 3 females from another family and wondered, since they knew more than me, if they had pulled a fast one and I was somehow buying all their unwanted drakes. To confuse matters more, I had two ducks of one bill color and two of another and was convinced this was a clue to their sex. So one by one I caught my ducks and struggled to get hem to talk so I could compare their voices. Turns out I really have a girl that mounts the other girls. She doesn't hurt them, no one is missing feathers, no one seems to be stressed by it, so I just let them do their ducky thing.

Yes...It's a free for all in the breeding of Ducks...

I once had a Pekin duck and a China goose (both female) that regularly enjoyed each other's 'company'. There were no drakes in the picture, which may have contributed to the pairing. I wouldn't worry about it to much, as long as they don't get too aggressive with each other.

I can absolutely attest that there’s a lot of lesbian love that occurs at my house with my two Pekin ducks. As you wonderfully stated, I support their love life and will never step in the way of true love. That said... I’ve been a little bit of a lovins’-interceptor of late. It’s only one particular Pekin who mounts everyone (back when I had three) and I would be sitting here in my house contemplating the meaning of life (or whether I want Ramen noodles or macaroni and cheese... you know, important stuff) and I would hear a little ducky Yelp. And so I look out there and sure enough... Patty is on top of someone and the recipient is making this little sound that, to me, is so dang pitiful. So my daughter and I always come and ruin the intimate foray and break up the lovins.

She’s never plucked feathers or marred a face or anything but about 1-2 weeks ago, the non-Patty-non-sexual-predator duck OG (pronounced oooohhhhhjjj but it’s weird so whatever) had a lame leg. They have a temporary home in my screened in back porch so everything is flat, no obstacles or anything to have injured herself. So I blamed Patty as the perpetrator (she’s bigger than OG) and so now I’m especially on high alert for the cries of sexual victimization.

I mean... at least let her heal her leg before you do it again! Yeeeesh.

I will say, I’ve also seen OG do her whole ‘presenting it’ thing to Patty as well. So maybe ducks are just easy/floosies and I’m misinterpreting the sounds... it’s not victimization, it’s the coo’s and wooooo’s of intimacy.

Either way, it’s just amazing how much these guys are in the mood. Maybe it’s duck mating season now? I have no idea when that season is but Patty is making that season last all year long

(cue song “all night long”... LOL)

I doubt you have a drake (though anything can happen) I just suspect you have amorous ducks

Oh, and as an aside... besides the rapey nature of their free for all, I actually LOVE their flirts and subtle messages of “you want this? Ohhhhh yeah.”

Their little head bobs up and down I just hear (in my head) “boing” “boing” “boing”.

Sortve makes the flirting cute and not so much a reminder of just how much whoopie they’re getting (I mean... not that I’m jealous or anything ::lie:: )

Oh my........yes ducks are happy critters.
My Pekins enjoyed the spa sex all day long with LOUD quacking (sounded like laughing) from the hen.
Just forcing her head under water during 'the act' and then up she'd come for air and great bouts of 'laughter' !

Turkeys get really weird, too...with anything, ducks, geese, dogs, or basketballs.
had one who adored a basketball (Wilson !)
Constant entertainment !
