Silver Appleyard Decibel level

[amateur_peasant]

I got 10 silver appleyards ducklings last spring, 4 ended up being females and we've kept them for over a year. This spring we hatched out another 4 appleyard ducklings. None of them have been extremely noisy (well, we had one of the girls go broody after hatching out eggs in the incubator, she was noisy, but the age of yours none of them are broody.
Not sure what's going on, sounds like they're just not used to you, maybe it will go away with age.

Nope it got worse and worse. I gave three of them, including the very expensive Appleyard to a Farm Animal Rescue Farm.

Sorry, I missed how old this thread was. Also, it's very odd! Seems like it wasn't just an appleyard thing since there were other breeds participating. Did something happen at some point that might have made them afraid of you? That's the only thing I can think of. You know what you're doing with ducks, though, it sounds like. Ducks definitely like their routines! Once they're in a rut it's hard to get them out of it...
