Nope no hatchlings for this girl, their all spayed and neutered. {they do love them some duck eggs though}
I will post some pics when I figure out how to use the camera.

Mc you need to get that heating system fixed can't have you coming down with a respiratory infection.

Can you make a video of what they are doing? no sense in getting all worked up if it's just a ducky things but if we can see and hear we maybe able to set your mind at rest.

They can sure make you worry about them.

Lydia's totally right, it could be some sort of infection or it could be 100% normal duck behavior. But a video would be awesome.

Do I have to put the video on YouTube? It can be quite hard to hear above the chirping! It seems to be mainly after they drink.

Yeah, BYC has a direct youtube link for embedding videos in forum posts, it's pretty handy.

Ok will try getting one later.

Ok guys sorry I'm very late. Youtube won't let me upload a video so I will try and explain the best I can. It is normally when she( I think) is drinking but sometimes it is when she is joint down kinda just lying there, it is also when she flaps her wings and she kinda blows out. Sometimes when she is drinking it will be very quiet but high pitched whistling but most of the time it is just heavy breathing. Amykins could you post video of wobbles when he was wheezing because I dwont know what a wheezing duck sounds like. I have a vet wringing tommorow because we rang the clinic today and their again vet was not working so she is gunna wring back tommorow to try and come because I have some chickens with bad scaly leg mite and nothing else I have tried works so I will see if she can see the duckling to? But knowing animals she probly won't breath loudly, wheeze whatever you want call it, as she doesn't do it all the time. Any suggestions would be welcomed, she also sometimes opens her mouth like she was quacking 2 or 3 time in a row if that means anything although I have seen videos one other ducklings and they seem to do this to. Thanks again I hope she will be okay without to much vet expense! Lol thanks again

Yeah, that vid always bugged me. If the poor lil thing's nares aren't totally blocked he's got one heck of a bad URI.
