Normal female duck behavior?

[Mamahen2104]

Hi all!!
So I have a a few ducks, one muscovy, one runner, and one magpie. Runner and muscovy are about 20-22 weeks old, magpie is 5-6 months old. We think they are all girls. But the magpie, when mounting the runner today, shot out a white liquid from "her" vent. That raised alarm for me. I know females can excrete a white lubricant when being mated but I've never heard or seen a female just shoot it out. Is this normal? Or do I have a drake on my hands? They both honk and the magpie has no tail curl

Can you post pictures? And what do they sound like, do they make loud quacks, or do any of them have more raspy and quiet voices?

From what you described, I’d be suspicious that you do have a drake.

The runner and magpie honk when I get near and the muscovy trills. When casually grazing the magpie makes soft quack sounds and the runner sounds like a raspy quack. I have pictures of the ducks but not the act

I have seen this... more frequently than I'd care to admit. Horny lesbian duck pile.

Honanbm have you seen the shooting liquid?? That's a normal thing?? So it's nothing to be worried about?

I sure have! I'm not sure how "normal" it is, but I'd not worry about the health of your birds. They look fantastic, and the behavior sounds pretty on par for how they act if there's not a drake around to, um, satisfy their needs.

The corkscrew penis of a drake would be visible at such a time.
