male ducks dont quack. they make a noise kind of similar to quacking though
Female ducks make a more distinct quack, whereas males will all make more of a raspy quack. This holds true for most all breeds of ducks.
Duck is the common name for a large number of birds in the Anatidae family. And with over 120 different species, ducks are incredibly diverse and can be found all over the world. Of these birds we call "Ducks" some of the them have a call other than a "quack". The most common "Ducks" of North America, like those you see on a farm, as a general rule of thumb all "quack" both male and female. Their call or "quack" is different between male and female. There are some types of Anatidae that don't have a "quack" call.
It seems to me that one of the three ducks would need to be a male. I think that is why people who keep chickens have at least one rooster. Either it's too soon, or they're all males. One doesn't need to be a male for the females to lay!
Aha, something up my alley. A drake is what some people call a male duck. Yes they do quack.
Ducks (females) quack, drakes do not. They can also be vent-sexed if you know how to do it.
Ducks only quack in some languages. Other languages hear the duck's sound differently. Examples:Afrikaans: kwak-kwakAlbanian: mak makArabic (Algeria): couak couakBengali: gack-gackBulgarian: - (kvak-kvak)Catalan: cuac, cuacChinese (Mandarin): gua guaCroatian: kva-kvaCzech: kvák kvákDanish: rapDutch: kwak kwakEnglish: quack quackEsperanto: gik-gakEstonian: prääks prääksFinnish: kvaak kvaakFrench: coin coinGerman: quack, quackHebrew: ga ga gaHungarian: háp-hápIndonesian: kwek kwekItalian: qua quaJapanese: gaagaaKorean: kkoyk-kkoykMontenegrin: kva kvaNorwegian: kvakk-kvakkPolish: kwa kwaPortuguese (Portugal): qua qua quaPortuguese (Brazil): quá quáRomanian: mac macRussian: krya-kryaSlovene: ga-gaSpanish (Spain): cuá cuáSpanish (Argentina): cuac cuacSwedish: kvackThai: gaab gaab (with falling tone)Turkish: vak, vakUkrainian: krya-kryaVietnamese: quak-quak
A male mallard duck has a shiny, green head. A female is brown. But when does this difference take place? all chicks look alike when they are hatched. when does the transformation take place? at what age or stage?
i also have a khacki cambell duck, in my opinion i think it depends on the specific duck. mine is a bit on the "human " side and would never stand to be locked up with a bunch of chickens. i have three other ducks and they all fare well being locked up with the chickens. so i guess im saying that depends on the attitude of the duck.
There is no difference at that age. After their frist molt(old feathers fall out, new feathers come in) you will be able to tell or about around 6 weeks when the start to quack, the female has a very ugly quack. You could also have an avian vet sex your duck.
The easiest way to determine the gender of a duck is by the feathers, if you are dealing with a breed that displays sex-distinguishing colors. If there is no obvious difference in the feather colors, look at the tail feathers. In some breeds, the males' feathers curl up a bit at the base of the tails.
All male ducks are called "Drakes"
A male duck is called a drake. A female duck is not called a drake (duck or hen)Drakes (male ducks) of most breeds have a 'drake feather' on top of their tale, a feather that looks like it has been curled with curling tongs... The markings of drakes are different than those of the ducks in most breeds.
