Why do my ducks do this

[Cassidykassis_88]

My ducks do this frequently it’s usually the darker one (welsh harlequin)

Oh how awesome! Except maybe I won’t yell “charge” anymore since I’m the only female in the backyard...

I have a khaki that sometimes gets really excited, puts his or her head low, and then just runs around in circle around. I think that's what yours would have done if there were more room?

Its interesting when they do this.

It may be over several things, like I've seen them get excited over finding a bug to eat, etc. Or excited when you splash water near them.

They have neat personalities.

I think it’s when the drakes air sacs empty or when they’re trying to impress other drakes. My boys do this in a group, especially a certain two of them, who are brothers.

My drakes do it after mating they get all excited and if there in the creek they do that and swim in a circle.
