There is nothing abnormal in the labored breathing video, Pekins seem to breathe a tad bit harder than most breeds. I don't see any duckling in the second video that looks "weak.

I had just read on a BYC thread that it was suitable, but I’ll play it safe and get chick grit

I've heard of many people using it as well, but to be safe just go with the chick grit, it's pretty cheap and will last a lifetime.

Okay-maybe I’m just over reacting-are kind of sniffles (minus any snot) normal?

Is their bedding wet? Kind of looks like it. I'd replace with some nice fluffy shavings. and there are ways to keep the wetness off the shaving to an degree.
Another thing I noticed is luke warm water? ducklings need to bath in warm water so they don't chill. Not having anything but down and no oils yet to give them water proofing they can chill pretty quick.

Those "sniffles" are just the babie just making little peeps.

I have been using Koop clean, and I change it every day and allow the cage bottom to dry throughly-I have two baking sheet on either side of the cage-one around the bowls to keep the water and food from soaking the bedding and one as a dry haven on the other side for the ducklings, near their light—it was night when I took the video and I change it every morning.-but would shavings work better?

Oh, they are? Like it sounds like they are trying to get something out of their nostril-
