Choose Quieter Breeds

Solution

Select breeds known for being less vocal, especially Muscovy ducks.

Explanation

Muscovy ducks are notably quiet, primarily making hissing sounds rather than loud quacks. While other breeds vary, males (drakes) of most breeds have a much quieter, raspier call than the loud females ('alarm' quack).

Notes

Even 'quiet' breeds can make noise when startled or excited. Research specific breed tendencies.
