Hello! I have 3 Jumbo Pekin Ducks and 2 Cayuga ducks. All females except the one Pekin. When I am approaching their enclosure they give several loud quacks. Occasionally along with these quacks they make a loud pitched noise. It sounds like a small dog yipping. What coud these ducks be trying to convey?
...perhaps they are secretly planning a take over? My ducks always get excited when they see me approaching (being the bearer of peas that I am, they are probably anticipating my bringing treats!) And I also have one that occasionally sounds like a little dog barking - one of my WH females....I wouldn't worry too much. Cheers' Dan
