The breathing is hard to hear, I've just come to the conclusion that's the sound of how they breathe as all three of them sound like that now that I listen to them.

Breathing Moonshines quack

They've been inside as I get their place finished up outside and the temps inside have been in the 70's. We've been wondering if Moonshine is a drake, if I start talking and petting one of the other ducks Moonshine will come up sometimes and push my hand away with the bill. At this point I...

No, that's really the only symptom. Moonshine loves to play in the pool when we set it up outside, and does everything else the other two do. Sounds like a weezing, I'll have to see if I can get a good clip of it. Before this I had noticed sometimes it was like she was panting/breathing heavy at...

So Whiskey appears to be doing much better, she may stumble a bit if she does her wing stretches but she's much better on her feet. Whiskey and Bourbon both have had their quacks for weeks now, Moonshine has sounded more like a squeaky water spigot being turned on/off or what I would call a...

Thank you for letting me know about the feeder! I will get them a larger feeder.

Here's a couple pictures of them standing.

Is it possible to identify the breed of ducks I have at about 4 weeks. I thought they were runners but Google lens is talking about a Blue Swedish and a Rouen. Two of them seem to of developed their quack. 😍 Whiskey seems to be doing much better as she is much more stable on her feet. She does...

Just wanted to post an update...as I hate when I go to reading a thread and it dead ends. I think Whiskey is standing more, she is still wobbly on her feet. They are so cute, Whiskey is the only one that has got her quack so far and their little feathers are coming in. We filled up a short tote...

Okay, I got the three ducklings in their own 100 gallon stock tank...it looks small with everything in it. I'll look for something bigger, as I need to get more female ducklings since these three were unsexed. Hopefully with their own dedicated and unmedicated feed that will help

Got back home and the wife said she kept falling over. Took a video in case it helps see anything. https://photos.app.goo.gl/E427SXznzJaiBXDS7 I'm thinking of maybe trying to put the ducks in their own brooder to get them away from the medicated chick food and let them eat their own duck...

Whiskey is just a few days past 2 weeks old. Whiskey is larger than the other two ducks that we got at the same time. When we weighed them last time Whiskey was 10 g heavier than the other two. I've had to run down the road to go check on another ladies heat, just hoping nothing happens to...

This morning I heard my duckling carrying on about something. We came in here to the same duckling, we named Whiskey, over on its back. We got Whiskey back on his/her feet, but Whiskey has done fell back over a couple more times. Got my bird feeding syringe in last night that @Miss Lydia told me...

I wish I could keep them together with the chicks and get them to eat their separate food. They're all so cute, they all cuddle up together at the end of the tote each night to sleep. They're spending very little time underneath the brooder heater anymore.

Forum members have linked this and said that is a myth. It is recommended they be fed unmedicated food but research has shown it's not horrible for them from my reading.
