    Please help! For the past week or so, my Cayuga (7 months old) has been breathing through her mouth.

    What is going on with my ducks?

    I have six runner ducks, all females. Three are about 18 months or so, the other three are closer to 6.5 months. After careful introduction, everyone was integrated successfully over a long period of time. They shared their little house and enclosed yard, and pond, pretty much without issue...

(Not that I have any issue with them possibly being hybrids, it's just a curiosity to me) First, Geronimo (~6-7 months old) This only shows up in...
