My call drake buttercup has trouble breathing his nose holes get clogged up, one time it was so bad that one nose hole was completely covered over and the other nose hole had gunk it seems to be snot and mud, I take a toothpick (I am really careful) and get the gunk off so he can breathe better, his brother puddle is fine (btw they have the same parents)
They have water deep enough that they can dip their hole head in and I see buttercup blowing bubbles but he still gets a clogged up nose, I clean their water out every morning
He will be a year old next month on the 26th
Last month he lost his mate (him his brother and his mate were all the same age) so it Is just him, his brother, 4 khaki cambles, and 6 brahma chickens, he was very sad at first and still misses his mate but is coping better (so does his brother just less)
I do have a new problem him and his brother are in love with my hands and feet but now they know I pull away when they grab me with their beaks they just grab anything they can like my clothes they have even started jumping up at me to grab me
Also my brahmas are terrified of them and the khakis are scared when the boys get mad it is hilarious seeing huge birds running away from tiny birds
I am happy to answer questions and give more photos (can't do videos though don't have a YouTube account or anything)
Thank you for your help
Here are some pictures the duck with the most white on his chest is buttercup and the one with less is puddle
