Weird duck behaviour

[Iownmuscovies]

What you've describe seems a lot like what my ducks do; they start vibrating and shoot up your arm, or across the back of another duck. When they do it on other ducks it is usually when they want them to move out of the way, for example if they want to get to treat. My ducks do that all the time. Sometimes when you give them treats they get a little excited and do it to your hand too. Completely normal, don't be worried.

Thank you so much, you perfectly described everything they do. Now I have a better idea of it and I’ll think less of it. Thanks again!

I just edited my post lol because no one suggested it I thought that might not be it. I'll change it back. Glad I could help!

Ooh. Those are some skinny legs. I might change my vote to girl. But, I am not an expert.

I really hope it’s a girl. She’s really small and doesn’t seem to have any signs of caruncles yet when my other duck had caruncles and was 2x her size at the same age. Hopefully it is a girl

I was seriously going to post a thread on this subject! My ducks do it too!!! I realize mine do it when they get so excited!! Usually when they get around water and are so excited they are just about to blow! They can never hold in excitement when they see water.

Those legs are pretty skinny.
That second pic is large (to load) and pretty ducky!
Hope it turns out to be a girl for you. What will you do if you have a boy and a girl? Will you let her hatch?

We would keep only one egg to hatch the rest we would probably keep for ourselves . I read online that milk and bread will make her not lay eggs is that true? Because we do feed her milk and bread sometimes

Did you see the second pic or it didn’t load?

I know bread is not good for ducks: makes there belly bloat
Milk: I have no idea if it is good for them...I know they can have dairy, but not to much.
