Breathing

[Snyders_Ducks]

One of my ducklings sound like they almost have a stuffy nose when they breathe. There is nothing else visually wrong with her and she he's plenty of Food,Water, and space. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Has she had enough water to dunk her head in?

Has she had enough water to dunk her head in?

The waterer I got at tractor supply seemed deep enough, I saw one if my other ducklings blow bubbles in it

 

[Snyders_Ducks]

Has she had enough water to dunk her head in?

I know it's not deep enough for her entire head, but it should be deep enough for her beak. becuase we tried deeper ones and they keep jumping in them, and we can't find a good one online or in stores.

Make something similar to this so they can dunk their heads but can't climb into. They can also swim in nice warm water in a sink with you right close because they can launch themselves out too. But start with warm water just up to the tops of their legs then gradually make it deeper always supervise. Or use the tub and place something inside the tub that they can play in warm water . They will have a blast and you'll enjoy it too. Make sure to get them out before the water cools and pat dry and right back under heat.
