5 week old Pekin with drippy eyes

It's quiet and maybe I'm over reacting.

Upload the video to youtube or vimeo then copy/paste the link here.

I watched the video, I don't hear or see anything abnormal, they all look healthy to me. Pekins will breathe a bit heavier then most breeds if that's what you were concerned about.

Do they have a more raspy quack also?

I only hear peeps, which is completely normal for their age.

My Clyde has the exact same problem. She is a muscovy about 2 weeks old and has had slimey eyes and crust around them. And she dry sneezes occasionally.

Saline and washing does not help at all. Whatever she has is not contagious but it isn't getting better either.

Try Terramycin eye ointment,TSC May have it or online. Does you duckling have deep bowls or buckets to keep its eyes cleaned out?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Don’t understand that they won’t dunk their heads, but more than likely it’s from not washing good and getting dust from feed and or bedding. The Terramycin will still help and is always good to have on hand. If they will start washing their faces that would be good. Maybe try dropping peas into their drinking bucket or bowl.

I put mine in the sink with slightly warm water and sprinkled some over its head causing it to dunk then afterwards I rubbed her eyes and around them dry, then took the duck out into the sun to dry and the excess slime seemed to be gone. I'm gonna do it maybe once a day or so but it seems like it has helped so far

Sounds good hopefully some good ole face washing will do it!
