male ducklings

[Cuqui18]

if i got 2 male ducklings would they get along or fight as they got older?

If you just have males and no females they will get along great!

I had 2 pekin drakes and they got along alright but when spring came, all they did was try to mate eachother and all of us. Not my idea of fun.

I believe I'd go with females.

im just concerned about noise... because i know females tend to be more quacky

Muscovy ducks don't quack. They just make soft trilling, cooing noises. Believe me, the mallard derived drakes may not quack but mine were pretty noisy anyway.

honestly if my mom would let me i would definitely go with muscovies! i do not intend to be offensive in any shape or form to any muscovy duck oners, but my mom says they scare her because of how they look so she wouldnt let me get them

again do not mean to offend anyone, i think they are lovely ducks

The girls don't have the large carnicles like the drakes do. And they are very quiet. see this is an adult female Muscovy

tee hee when I was a kid I didnt know what they were we saw them on the pond at the camping place we went to in FL and we called them ugly ducks... hehe.... they arent really, atleast not the girls and some of the boys are pretty too with Elvis hair haha. But my grandpa wont let me get them either, and honestly I dont want tohave to worry about accidently hatching mules so I just stick to one lineage of duck lol. They are cute though especially the girls!
