Hey everyone I'm new to this forum, and have a question about my Cayuga ducks. I'm a proud Cayuga duck mom to two beautiful 11 week old ducklings. I'm a first time duck mom, and I've learned a lot from research and talking with other duck parents. However, I've come across a behavior this morning that I couldn't find an answer online or asking others about. My girl, Frankie, grabbed my hand fairly hard this morning and wouldn't let go for about 30 seconds. She also tucked her butt in and got really low to the ground and did a quick happy feet stomping dance while giggling/grunting. She was chirping and running around right before this happened. I did my normal routine before I leave for work, by playing with their bills and petting their crops before this behavior started. Did she just get really excited? Any help is appreciated! I'm happy to be apart of this forum with fellow bird lovers!

I'm not 100%
I was thinking the same thing that she might be a he. I ordered 2 females from Metzer farms though. Not to say mistakes can't be made. Are you thinking this is more drake behavior?
Frankie has been the follower of her sister, Grace, but lately she's been more vocal and a little more independent (like a little bit).

I am no expert but yes anything is possible. Do they quack or have a low raspy type of quack? Girl ducks can have a very loud quack and the boys are more quiet and raspy. Hope that helps. :)
