Our two newest runner ducks (Livvy and Lucy) - 3 months old - are so loud at night, hours after we put them to bed in their enclosure for the night. They are both females and live separately from but still have view of our three older runners (Oliver, Jerry, and Keisha) who are in their own enclosure at night.
Our ducks are weird. Oliver, Jerry, and Keisha are bonded (2 males, 1 female). Jerry and Keisha are inseparable and Oliver just hangs out with them, but he's recently grown fond of Livvy, one of the young ducks. But Livvy nags him ALL THE TIME when they are together during the day, when they have full run of our yard.
I think Livvy starts yelling at him from afar at night (quacking really loudly). Either that or the two young ducks are throwing a party every night around 10-11:30pm.
Does anyone else have this problem with their female ducks being really loud at night? Any tips on how to get them to respect the curfew and just go to sleep? LoL
Livvy and Lucy are hanging out in my living room for the night and are finally quiet.
PS. The lights on their enclosure go off around 9:30pm. Now that I'm posting this, I wonder if the lights, as dim as they are, are messing with their sleep. Hmmm... may have answered my own question here. Welcome to my life.
