The girls only quack if they are anxious....otherwise are quiet
I have had 2 eggs every day since we got them...I discovered 5 days in that some eggs were completely hidden under the straw...so I now put on my rubber gloves every morning and search Not sure about other breeds and their laying habits Maybe someone else could help you with that question
They are a delight and no trouble at all...they have been mixing with the hens and are getting easier to put into the Eglu at night...
Every day they are becoming less shy
