I have four Pekins, they are about 6-7 weeks old. They are all doing well, eating, swimming but tonight they are all panting. Normally, they bed down nicely, and they went about their normal routine, (I can tell time by these guys), but all four of them are clearly panting. It’s not warm or humid, they have access to water and have been getting up and drinking it, and they are in and out of the pond all day. I know they all bathed well, heads into and out of the water. One was sneezing last night, am I overly concerned?
Thanks !

I'm still learning myself, but I know Pekins are bigger ducks so they tend to run hotter. My Pekin pants often, typically when my other two ducks have her cornered for snuggles lol.

All 4 of my pekins pant when it is humid even if it is cool if it's humid they struggle mine are much older they're all 25wks where my Rouens don't struggle like the pekins do I took these today the humidity was good but yesterday humidity was crazy high and the pekins were panting and the Rouens were just chill

You could try putting a sprinkler, inside or outside there run so it will rotate towards them! My ducks love it! It may help keep them cool! Here is the sprinkler I use below!

This one would work in a pinch, really whatever you have! There very fun to watch play in it!

I does take them a second to get used to the sprinkler, at first there like, why the heck is it raining on me, bu then they figure it out!
