Quacking Duckling?--Video Included--

[samuelsonfarm]

OK, we recently got 3 buff ducklings that are 4 days old today. One of them has a very distinct "quack" instead of a "peep!" Is this normal? Is it a breed thing? Should I be concerned? They all seem very healthy and happy. We also have 10 one-week-olds, but we're keeping the two groups separated for now until the little ones get a bit bigger.

I'll try to capture a video today if I can...gotta charge the camera battery! This one's definitely going to be named "quackers" how could we not?

OK, I got a video of "Quackers!" Here he/she is doing his/her thing It's kind of a peep-quack.

Anybody have any ideas? The quacking is getting more pronounced. It almost sounds like the poor thing is hoarse!

If it continues on like this as it grows, maybe you can name it Joan Rivers?
