Baby duck Sneezing....

[Reese7383]

I just got 3 unknown ducklings yesterday from TSC. They have been having a few sneezing fits since we brought them home. Should I be worried? What could be the cause of this?

Make sure they can wash their nares and eyes out especially when eating they can get dust from the feed in their nares also feed stuck so need to be able to clean real well. You could add a little ACV to their water also 2Teas to 1 pint to start but unless your noticing off their feed laying around looking sick I'd just chalk it up to dust. If you see discharge coming for nares or eyes then you need to be worried. They sure are precious.

What is ACV? And what is it's purpose?

ACV is apple cider vinegar.

ACV is also a tonic and does have capabilities of killing some bacteria that's why I most of the time recc that before going to anything stronger. I use it often for my flock and for myself. I use it to clean out feed bowl and water containers too. ACV for health and white vinegar for cleaning.
