She's a Muscovy duck! They're a different species from the mallard derived breeds that you typically see and are originally from South America. They don't quack, but instead the females make a trilling coo and the males have a sort of breathy laugh. They are extremely quiet, friendly, curious, and calm birds and make perfect backyard poultry

I’m starting to feel like we’re never going to see Clover’s ducklings 🐥 😢

I posted an update but it wasn't the best photo. You can see it if you look at my posts

I don’t see it! Bummer. Must be one of those weird Lemmy quirks or something. How many babies? How are they doing?
