Rav's Duckumentary - Call duckling babies (pic heavy)

[buff goose guy]

I'm sorry, I do hope I am wrong my snowy girl never had any dark green near her bill like that which is why I said that.

These are from this morning
Could all 3 be female?

hatched 6/1-3

These are from that off-Snowy pair, right?

Bill color is not accurate, even in pure Snowy... I have girls with dark bills... but looks like all 3 have neck rings, that's *usually* a male trait but still not accurate for mix colors...

What do they sound like?? Loud quacks or raspy whaaap-whaaap-whaaap?

 i was worried about that   
oh meant to say they are ~2 months old

their faces are wet from playing in the water, and eating the grass, when dry its not usually that dark

Yes, i'm no good at telling if it is a quack or not,

these are really the only ducks i've had. I was kind of hoping they'd be noisier

part of why i wanted calls, i feel like i need geese now to get my noisy creature fix

they dont sound like either of those, but your girls sound like they are laughing at you lol
so in about a month they should get their curls?

That laugh is the classic female sound off quack... very unmistakable...

In a month or so, they should... they'll molt into their adult color and they get them then...
