Shaws call duck incubation thread (hatch a wonderful(worthless to Ralphie) dux thread)

Does quacking mean a girl?

So it is like in the human world, the gals never shut up and the guys can never get a word in edgewise even?

Ralphie some of us can't help that we are having so many brilliant ideas all at once that we feel duty bound to attempt to improve the limited male psyche! (Rarely works but we try)

Yep, the females have a very distinct QUACK! The boys are just a raspy sound. But I find the boys make noise more often. The girls are just louder. So yea, just like humans. The girls also make the raspy sound of a male much of the time. She's only loud when there is a reason to be.

Broody one on her daily outing off the nest.

Zombie Eye!!!

You know what you need to do....


Is it blind in that eye? It makes sneaking up on them easier. I have a couple roosters that are blind in one eye. I assume from fighting, they spend most their day going in circles to see what is beside them.

Ya I know. It will likely get picked on with only one good eye. Not sure what I will do with it. Will have to wait and see.

Shaw, check out the lacing coming in on Bianca's back. And he/she still has not quacked either, I'm assuming boy.

I've been noticing that lacing. Mine don't have that. But I still wonder if it's just an off version of the pastel? Whatever they are they are so o o pretty.

The FB breeders group all said pastel and were all very complimentary. So far. Lol
