Duck Making Crackling Noise out of stomach??

[Duckmum1]

Every now and again my ducks body makes a really strange sound too. It sounds like an old tree creaking as it moves. Bizarre! I have no clue what it is!
She also keeps going through phases where her breathing sounds like bubbles being blown in water through a straw!

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

This is exactly the noise my duck is making. I’m worried to death. I have seen others with the same issue, but there haven’t been any answers given. Any advice?

@Dunkin Ducks @mothergoose2015 Just a thought; What kind of food are you providing? Pellet or fermented? Do you provide grit or oyster shells?

I've only heard that it is the gizzard grinding up their food that you hear.
