Male duck Sounds / identifying male and female ducks / Grandma lives in the basement

This short video explains how to tell the difference between male and female ducks by the sounds they make and how they look. Drake ducks / male ducks sound different from female ducks. Drake ducks have a curled tail feather and I show examples in this video.

Thank you so much! I was soooo scared that something was wrong with my duck, but I found out it’s completely normal!!!

[@heavenlyhelper81]

Much better sound explanation and quality! Thank you! I vent checked my ducks before this video and found my luck was 14 females and 1 male. Talk about a lucky ducky!

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

I’m so happy this was helpful for you.😊😊😊

[@HepatoxTube]

Thank you, my parents had ducks and my attempt to explain the vocal differences between ducks and drakes to my wife by mimicry failed miserably, your video was much clearer.

Ducks are so cute because they seem to be smiling all the time :) Adorable creatures!

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

Thank you!

[@reviewbuttdungeonusa259]

Raised pekins for years and they are also so much fun to just watch.

[@rondastothers472]

The family of ducks are so much fun to watch and listen to.

[@gailraciti6272]

Love them! So cute and very fun to watch.

[@yecyec77]

I love your explanation-short but detailed information and organized. Easier to understand because it is very well said in simplest way. Not complicated. It saved my time. Thank you!

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

I’m so glad you liked it! Thank you 😊

Loved your vid .we have alot of Pekin too..their hard to manage but once they get acclamation to a larger body of water and gets on a feed routine they do great...it's been exspensive but worth it ..they keep all 4 ponds clean and their so lovable..we have 3 drakes and 2 female and plus alot of wild wood ducks and Mallard that fly in and hand out during feed times....I already knew the call sounds but this vid gives perfect demonstration and I thank you....we love our ducks and ppl come far distance just to hang out with them and love on them...they absolutely love attention..never once have they even bitten a guest unlike our mascovy breeds ... however have a few Muscovy breeds helped the domesticated Pekin gain better survival instincts than when they where alone... we make sure to add niacin tablet once a day into their fresh ice water bowls and they get a 20 percent flock maker duck and goose pellets feed once a day and their very happy and healthy with it

Great job. This is very helpful ❤

I can't get over the runner ducks 😆

[@YogiHollowFarm]

This was helpful and informative. Thanks

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

Thanks for checking out my channel!!!! 😊

[@ashleyillustrated]

Great video! Straight to the point and very helpful. I just found out yesterday that all of my (only four 😅) ducks are drakes! I bought them straight run so the odds of that were slim! I adore them though & hopefully they’ll all get along as they were raised since teeny little babies together and no females are around. I’m just a rambly type lol... don’t mind me... Thanks again for the video! ❤️

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

Thank you so much for the comment! I’m so glad the video was helpful. Have fun with your sweet boys!

[@zeyaditis]

Thanx iloved it Simple quite informative

[@yairrodriguez1870]

Very helpful thank you

[@TheScottchristophers]

So… one of my ducks doesn’t have the tail curl but they sound more like the drakes in this video

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

Sometimes they won’t have the tail curl…another way to tell is the color of their feet and beaks. Our male ducks have a darker more vibrant color than our females once the females are laying eggs. But if your Duck sounds like a male…it is most definitely a male.

[@mistermossman6074]

i have two crested ducks snd i noticed the sound difference and knew that meant they were male and female but i forgot what way around it was :D

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

I hope this video helped you figure out what each sound meant. Thanks for sharing your comment. 😊

[@dirtywhitellama]

Makes me miss having ducks....

[@AussieTeen]

What age do male ducks get a curl?? And what age do female ducks lay eggs?

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

I think our females started laying eggs around 7 months old.

[@Mirokuofnite]

Drakes squack and females quack

[@discodawg02]

What about those fawn and white runner ducks? I have two trying to figure out which sex they are. Any tips?

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

kzbin.info8IPrKiv6O0I?feature=shared Check out this video I made with my runner ducks. Maybe this will be helpful 😊

[@discodawg02]

@@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement thanks for responding. I have a hard time deciphering the two. Does the male runner duck get any curled tail feathers?

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

I never noticed a curled tail feather on our male runners. The only way I could tell the sex was by their quacks and behavior. I hope my other video helped. Do you have a KZbin channel? I would love to see your ducks.

[@blairtheageese5269]

I have only 1 raising it with chicks they love each other I m sure mine is a male, Thanks for a great video

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

Thanks for watching 😊😊

[@MotivationaI_cat]

These duck r cute during this duck gender information

[@MiraBoo]

So our neighbor has ducks that frequent our yard. They look like girls (smooth tail feathers), but their squawks sound more like males. It has me so confused.

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

Sometimes male ducks tail feather is not curled…but the sounds of their quacks is the most reliable way to tell what sex they are.

[@jamiesollose2072]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@flowersintheattic128]

When do males get their tail feather? What age?

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

I think our males got curled tail feathers around 7 or 8 weeks.

[@flowersintheattic128]

@@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement my ducks are approximately 7-8 wks, the large one quacks(no curly feather) the smaller one kind of chirps like a bird(no curly feather) don't know who's male/female..lol..have any clue?

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

The chirp sound comes from a male.

[@flowersintheattic128]

So the female is bigger than the male?

[@NaturalStateOutDoorReviews]

Thank you for this video! Sadly I found out I have all females, time to search for a drake somebody wants to get rid of

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

You must have lots of eggs 😊

[@NaturalStateOutDoorReviews]

@@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement not yet but hopefully soon

[@ashleyillustrated]

@@NaturalStateOutDoorReviews where are you located? I have all males lol

[@TheShardulofAllah]

Ducks are very cute, but more often than not, no matter how many treats you give them, they remain very skittish :(

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

Do you have ducks?

[@TheShardulofAllah]

@@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement I do. Nine lovely Pekin ducks.

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

Do you have a KZbin channel I can subscribe to?
