Cute duckling quacking
Ducklings are LOUD. Fuzzy and adorable, but also loud. Just look at how she puts her whole body into it.
Cool, Front Page. Send newts. Ducks are hungry.

I'm okay with that kind of loud
pepeandarnold
I miss mine being so tiny and fluffy. Enjoy! It will only last a few weeks. Ducks are the best!

When they’re grown and get used to only family they (pat) that’s the serene way of quacking

Yup. They're still pretty unsure of us.

Pekin ducks are very loud in general. I always had Khaki Campbells and they are generally quiet unless they are scared
IDontKnowWhatToDoAnymoreAndImTired
I had a Pekin once who could announce clear from outdoors into the house that they wanted more food.
nihilistdad
Why on earth would you be pecking them? I'll see myself out...
dendrek
Doesn't he know he's not quacking correctly?

My husband and I have around 40 of them. We enjoy watching them run around the field going to the pond
Metalhead47
O.o that's a lot of ducks...
ferdflintrock
Piglets are AMAZINGLY loud too. Cute as buttons tho :D
Metalhead47
Lol, I see too many on the vet shows we watch, no thanks. Possibly the only critter I’d never want to own.

First thing you learn is: always keep a kleenex under his tail.

I brought my duckling into a theatre once (we couldn’t leave him in the car.) Let’s just say, the girl behind me was confused about the sfx.

First thing I learned from ducks is, they'll poop on you virtually every time you pick them up.
DweebOh
I lie. It was chicks that taught me that :P

I want a new duck.
Metalhead47
So did I. Now, I would have been just fine with an old, duck, too, but they seem rather hard to find around here.
mavruda
That duck looks crippled - where are it's hands ?????
Metalhead47
Very, very tiny.

All non-predatory birbs are loud. They THRIVE on noise.
StripTheFleshSaltTheWound
I haven't heard those peeps in ages. My family had ducks when I was a kid. It was great till a wild animal found the pond.
MrDuckie
Girls are louder than boys in older age and they dig holes in your yard. Good luck! I love how many people have ducks on here!
chookmad
Also, FYI, they only float for a little while, those fluffy baby feathers will waterlog and ducky will drown.
Metalhead47
So i've read. They only have a shallow water bowl for now, we're waiting til they warm up to us a bit for their first proper sink swim.
chookmad
Awesome! Unfortunately my kids discovered this the hard way :(
geaux750
They also peepoo everywhere
pepeandarnold
Please, please tell me you don't only have ONE duckling! It's going to be screaming in terror all the time. You need two.
Metalhead47
Oh no, she has a sister in the brooder. Probably why she was making such a fuss.
pepeandarnold
Yay!
pepeandarnold
Yes, any time we picked up one and not the other they would scream bloody murder, lol!

I have 6 of them. Be warned they get smelly and need fresh water anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day depending on the pool size. 1/2
AhDumTheHermit
what do they smell like? lol
missprisspink6
Duck poop
missprisspink6
Hey or straw is better then shavings for the nesting area as well. Good luck with your new buddy they are lots of work but it worth it.
Metalhead47
Oh yeah, they're a bit odiferous already but they'll be outside pets once it warms up. We've got them on wood pellets now.
missprisspink6
Do you have heat lamps for them?
Metalhead47
Yes, but they don’t seem to need it. They’re 3wks and the brood room is 75*, they kept away when it was on.
missprisspink6
Ok. Then they might be a little to warm. Do you have something for them to swim in? That is a very important thing. And if you need (1/2)

It can be totally worth it though. I raised a turkey from birth to sit on my shoulder and protect me when I fed the chickens.
Metalhead47
lol hopefully one day. They're pretty skittish right now.
