This is my duck Waddlez. Lately i’ve been noticing when she is sleeping or laying down her beak moves or like quivers? It’s not cold right now so idk why she’s doing this! Can anyone let me know why she’s doing this?
Here is a video of her doing it
the female started laying eggs so im sure about her, but i dont know if the male is actually male, i did research and i think he is male but i could be wrong, he doesnt have a drake curl yet but his voice sounds like a male quack
