Muscovy Hen Chirps Now?!

[Tay's Ducks]

My Muscovy hen used to make a more “cluck” like sound that was much deeper. Very recently though she started making this high pitch chirp noise and more frequently! Is this her new noise?


Here is a video of her chirp:

She's cute and so is her sound. I have no experience around Muscovy ducks at all so I take it they sound different than mallards?

Yes very different! They don’t quack like most ducks. The boys make a huff huff or a hiss sound and the girls make a cluck or the sound in this video I guess!

Yes, they do sound different as they don't quack - hens peep and squeak and drakes hiss.

Sounds like she didn't want you to mess with her.

She loves to do her own thing. She’ll even make this noise if our drake goes near her sometimes lol
