Chirping
My 3-4 week old runner duckling, Waldo, has been itching around his beak a lot since I got him 5 days ago. Recently he has started sneezing more but I don’t think there is any discharge around his nose. He just acts differently to my other ducklings but he eats and drinks loads, runs around and preens like normal so am I worrying too much? I’ve also noticed a dry patch on the back of his neck and at the top of his back so maybe he’s just itching dry skin? They have constant access to food and the water dish is deep enough to get their whole beaks in but not their entire body. Should I give them a full bath and see if that helps him? He just sounds a bit congested but he does dip his beak in the water. Please help, I’m new to this and want what’s best for my ducks!
