One little baby in the group seems to pant more then the other ducks, I noticed it when we first got them home, and into their warm brooder. This little duckling would always have to sleep right in the middle (the warmest area) of his other duck mates and then pant.
Even to this day, outside in fresh air, with plenty of shady spots, water bucket and pool for him to clean out his nostrils. I still see him pant while the other ducks are fine.
I think he has more black feathers then the other Ancona ducks, maybe he gets overheated faster because of it?
Can I do anything to help him out? I feel bad seeing everyone chilling in the shade, and he has little head up panting away.
