Duck Making Crackling Noise out of stomach??

[Dunkin Ducks]

I noticed around noon today that my call duck was making a crackling sound coming from her stomach. I figured she was just about to lay an egg or poop. But it is not 7pm and shes still making this strange noise. She is eating, drinking, swimming, and pooping as normal. It's just the weird sound. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this could be or what I can do for her? I do have an exotic vet but they are 4 hours away and closed until morning so I'm hoping I can help before we have to go there!

I do have a video clip of this sound saved onto my computer, but I'm not sure how to attach it into this post

Sounds like the gizzard is grinding up feed?

The video would be helpful - @topochico225 described how to do so.

It could be a peristaltic sound which is simply the sound created by the movement of the contents in the gastrointestinal tract. I've heard that in larger animals, but never birds; usually, the frequency will be every minute or so. If the sounds are continuous, and in synchronization, with the bird's respiration you may be dealing with a respiratory problem.

A thorough examination of the bird may also aid in identifyinging the problem:

Here is a link to the video of the sounds (note there is a fish tank in the background, I'm talking about the crackling sounds from the duck though)

How is she today?

My apologies I did not see this earlier. She was completely fine after this up until today. Now I'm dealing with this, but not sure if it's related or not

Hi. Did someone answer this? My duck is having the exact issue and I can’t find anything. Thank you. Maybe I am missing the response.... MMK
