Very loud and continual quacking

I figured there was some insight that could help... Without it being all or nothing. I won't rehome her.

Then enjoy her ways. She is chatty.

Yeah, that mating happens when there isn't a drake to do so

Right. Means they're getting along decently enough then

This isn't chatty. I've had "chatty" ducks. But thanks for the help

Hens breed other Hens even if you have a Drake. Sexual Birds. My Hens breed each other plus get bred from my Drake.

Lol I'm not sure how to get my Emojis to show up

Right, I know. I was just answering the question about how they interact. Seems normal enough was my point. At times they get along well, and at times they seem distant like maybe their difference in breed matters. Definitely the least bonded of any pair I've had. But I think they get along decently.

Yep you already know the answer to your question. Two different species so they don't communicate. She needs more of her kind to be happy..

Maybe. I was interested in hearing about how feeding and our presence may make a difference since those seem to be triggering variables. Since others have commented constructively on that. I know where you stand though. Thanks for contributing.

How do your Muscovy and your Ancona interact with each other? Are they buddies?

One of my Muscovy ducks hatched some Runners and Buffs well actually 3 brooded the eggs but one really connected to the ducklings more so than the other 2 Muscovy's she still will hang out with them.If I didn't have any other Muscovy's she would probably be okay with just the Runners and Buffs. Not sure how one of the Runners or Buffs would do with just a Muscovy to hang out with. I would think after a while though being as they really need each other since they are flock birds that there would be a bond formed.? Just guessing.

That's interesting! I think you're right... They get along because they have to and do ok. I don't think the issue is entirely due to difference in communication but I had never considered that before so I'm glad to have gotten that feedback here. Do you leave food out for your ducks all day?
