I have a pekin duckling everytime I pick her up she oozes saliva out of her beak? It's almost like duck vomit! Is this normal? The duck forum people weren't answering me and I know a few of us have both chicks and cucks so any help?
Ok no one is answering my duckling question-any chickie people know?

could you be squeezing her too hard? did she just drink something? is something stuck in her nose?
Does she have drinking water deep enough she can get her whole head to keep her nostrils clear? Ducks need that.
Sounds like she drank too much and when you pick her up, she spit it out.

Yup she can dip her whole head in the water-she could almost swim in it probably! I'm not squeezing at all, the first time I just set her on my hand and she shook her head and away it went!
hmmm...maybe she did drink too much like sundownwaterfowl said. not really sure...hope its nothing serious.
or she could be choking..maybe..
.when mine were young they sometimes did that until i wet their food into a mash for them..
If my chickens have just had a drink, the water is still in the crop area....if I pick them up holding the front of their body, it pushed the water back out of their mouths. If I just pick them up by their sides(with the wings folded underneath) it doesn't happen...
I don't hold my ducks much...
I don't hold my ducks much...
Look in her soft palatte at the roof of her mouth. Is there a hole or was it not completely formed?
