Hey there, duck lovers and backyard enthusiasts! Ever thought about the symphony of quacks your feathered friends create? While ducks add charm and character to any backyard, their quacks can sometimes be, well, a tad too vocal. Fear not! We're here to guide you through the quacky world of ducks, especially if you're considering a peaceful setup with ZiDtia's chicken coops and runs.

Quack, Quack! Who's Making All That Noise?

First things first, let's talk about who’s doing all the quacking. Generally, it’s the ladies of the pond – the female ducks. Unlike chickens, where the roosters are the loudmouths, female ducks take center stage in the quacking department. Their quacks can range from a soft, melodious hum to a full-blown, attention-grabbing quack-fest.

Now, what about the males? Male ducks, or drakes, are the strong, silent types. They usually have a more subdued, raspy quack, almost as if they're trying to quack with a sore throat.

Why Do Ducks Quack?

Ducks quack for various reasons – calling their ducklings, signaling danger, or just chatting away with their flock. It’s their way of communicating. But when it comes to keeping ducks in your backyard, especially near neighbors, it’s essential to balance their natural behavior with the peace of your surroundings.

Choosing the Right Ducks for Your Backyard

If you're leaning towards a more serene backyard experience, consider quieter duck breeds. Top of the list? The Muscovy and the Campbell. Muscovy ducks are known for being almost silent, making them perfect for a peaceful backyard setup. Campbells are relatively quieter too.
