I did and could hear their breathing sounded like a faint click not sure if it is something to worry about though. @WVduckchick hopefully or @casportpony will see and advise. Are they eating dry or wet feed?

Thanks @Lil Drake40

They’re eating organic starter crumble and have access to water deep enough to submerge their heads in.

The big ones (who are acting a bit lethargic, breathing a little strange) also had a few dried mealworms and greens from the garden yesterday, but mainly crumble.

I didn’t get to hear much of the noises my ducklings made when that young since they were hatched under mama duck so I’d rather someone used to young duckling noises would answer

 

[Lil Drake40]

They have chick grit available too?

 

[Lil Drake40]

They need it if eating anything other than thei starter

I don't hear anything abnormal, but maybe @casportpony will?

Here’s the raspy sound, this was last night before bedtime.

@WVduckchick @Miss Lydia Does this seem normal or should I be worried?

Here’s a video from before the new brooder and babies ... Breathing issue or teenage almost-quack?

I definitely hear something. How many are doing this?

 

[littlecollier]

@casportpony It’s just the older two, the younger two are normal.

Came home from work and just took these two videos.

Large black one seems much better, large brown one seems worse. I’m worried about temp so will put all back in smaller brooder with brooding plate.

Large brown one seems bloated? Could she have eaten something? I’m so worried now!

 

[WVduckchick]

That first video concerns me now. Let's see what Kathy recommends. I don't want to give bad advice

They have chick grit available too?

Sorry, didn’t see this one when I replied - Yes, they have a little bowl of grit available, too.
