Baby duck water coming from it's nose.

[jc1990]

My two week old baby duck has what seems like water coming from it nose. It's acting normal and eating. Should I be worried?

Yes. And no.

Does your duck have a good bowl of water that is deep enough to dip the bill into to clean out the nares? Very critical and without it, the duck will be unhealthy.

On the other hand , if everything is perfect, I will say that I have seen tiny amounts of liquids coming from my adult ducks' bills, but only for a very short time. Like it didn't stick around. And when I saw that, it was extremely frigid cold temperatures.

I would also Probly add one or 2 Tablesppons of apple cider vinegar to the head washing/drinking bowl. It will not hurt, plus if any bacteria is trying to grow, it should help.
