@RavynFallen just talked to a vet and she told me just to watch his weight and that nothing serious should be happening. Since I realized his interest in cat litter I have kept him away! No worries

The last welsh I hatched had the same drooling problem but had no trouble eating.

@RavynFallen he has tried to get cat litter he finds but usually spits it out. @Amiga Yes he does get bath time, but I have only seen him actually clean himself once while in the bath. It isn't a full stretched out yawn kinda like half way open while extending his neck the slightest bit...

@RavynFallen new problem has appeared, just today he has started drooling and almost looks like he is gagging.

@RavynFallen thank you!

@RavynFallen he is very alert, active, eats and drinks just like any other duckling. He has a deep enough dish now to dunk his head but still sneezing maybe a little less now.

I thought the water dish he had was deep enough but I found out it wasn't so I added a little dish it's deep enough water.

After watching him drink I don't think it's deep enough, I'll see it trying that will solve his sneezing! Thank you!

I hatched a welsh 4 days ago and since then he's been sneezing a couple times a day, today he sneezed a watery clear fluid. What is wrong with him and how can I treat it?

I hatched a welsh harlequin June 1 (4 days old). I've realized he's been sneezing and just today he's been sneezing clear watery fluid. Should I be worried? Most things I've read say take him to a vet but I can't afford that. Anyone know what could be wrong and how I can treat him?

One out of my six duck eggs going into lock down tomorrow has a really weird air sac. It's normal on top then goes down one side of the egg. I noticed acouple days ago the entire egg was filled up and I couldn't see the veins anymore but the others I could still see into. I'm scared this...

I'm on day 21 with ducklings, so alittle ahead of you. I came home last night and found my bator at 104. I naturally freaked out and candled them, all are still alive. But I didn't know what could cause it since nothing has changed, but then I remembered. They will start making their own body...

I have 6 fertile Welsh Harlequin eggs, I ordered them off eBay. I did everything I needed to do with them since they were shipped. My first candling was on the 11th, all of my eggs had a red ring around the lower part of the egg. I am confused as to what that means cause most people classify it...

I plan on putting a fence up so they can be let out to run then put the coop back in the corner
