I have black swedish ducks

They also seem to be doing better today, thier more active and I just think they were being tired and lazy becuase thier babies. I'm new to duck keeping and thier my first ducklings and I want to make sure thier healthy and doing good

I'm using Dumor Balanced poultry nutrition feed we got at tractor supplie, the sneezing has thankfully died down a bit. We use a watter we got from tractor supply and is deep enough for them to dunk thier beaks in, as they sneeze in the water to I believe to clean out thier noises.

She's not even a weak old yet. And I haven't let her swim yet becuase she's too young

I know it's not deep enough for her entire head, but it should be deep enough for her beak. becuase we tried deeper ones and they keep jumping in them, and we can't find a good one online or in stores.

The waterer I got at tractor supply seemed deep enough, I saw one if my other ducklings blow bubbles in it

One of my ducklings sound like they almost have a stuffy nose when they breathe. There is nothing else visually wrong with her and she he's plenty of Food,Water, and space. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Just an update, I switched it with another watter that should be deep enough for them to dunk thier heads

I've noticed my ducks would wag thier tails when all three of them are together, and even sometimes they'll flap thier little wings, I was wondering what this ment. I also noticed that sometimes they start nibbling me when I hold them, I got mulitple answers from Google and I'm not sure what's...

Two of my ducklings keep sneezing and one of them keeps laying down. I added Hydro-Hen into their water to see if it'll help, I also noticed they keep sneezing even though thier water is deep about for them to dunk thier heads, I don't know of its the pine shavings I use or if the water isn't...

My ducklings keep jumping in thier water, we used an ice tray until we can get a better waterer. The one we had was for chick's and wastn deep enough for them to dunk thier head or beaks fully. I'm not sure why but they keep trying to jump into the water or drink the non-exsistant water on the...
