Duck is panting! Help!

Do they get chances to swim and clean themselves? If you’ve got a tub give them some warmish water to splash around a bit, mine cleaned out their noses better when they were swimming than in their drinking water. The warm water will help break up whatever’s in their nostrils.

Yes they have a tub to swim in and dunk their heads in but they don’t clear their noses?

Is it possible that they’re warmer because they have new feathers coming in? Kinda a layers thing?
