Quacking quacking quacking

[DuckMom2022]

I have had an issue the last few days. One of my two females quacks constantly. She will quiet down for a few minutes. Then back to constant, loud quacks. Last year they were both relatively quiet unless they wanted more treats or something. Today, clean water. Worms. Peas. Pool water is clean. Sunshine and shade. A few tail wags. But Chatty, is very chatty and seems to be getting Cocoa going. I don't understand this behavior. I didn't have this issue last year. Any suggestions?

She could be going broody. Broody ducks are far more vocal than normal.

Is this something that passes on it's own? Or is there something I need to do?

You just have to sit it out, @DuckMom2022 !!

If you are worried about neighbors -- be liberal in donating duck eggs to them so that they enjoy your ducks and don't complain

You were correct! She was going broody! We make it a firm commitment to collecting eggs every morning. Now, we don't have this problem. Thanks for the tip!
