New ducklings from TSC!

As long as he is eating/drinking he is probably just a talkative little one, Pekins are a noisy breed too.

Oh good! Thank you! I was worried I was missing something since I've never had ducks.

Your offering heat? With them getting in water they can chill.

Yes, they have a heat lamp and have not at any point seemed chilled (I may be in there a bit excessively because I can't stop watching them ).

That’s good reason I was asking because some will cry a lot if cold.

Yes, that was my first thought as well, so every time he'd get loud I'd go and check on them thinking he was cold, but he seems perfectly happy. Eating and drinking, wiggling, and usually isn't even under the lamp, but is on the other side. I really don't think he's cold? It's not constant either. Just like 4 or 5 times a day he sets off. We go in, and he gets louder for a few minutes. We talk softly to them and check everything and then he settles right down and goes back to business as usual.

Welsh Harlequins Ducklings are yellow with some shades of black on their head.

Oops! I couldn't remember what color my guy was. I was mistaken. I will edit my post to avoid any confusion. Thank you for the correction. I really appreciate it
