Has anyone bred Pekin and welsh harlequin ducks together??

She just pooped this.

I think that her enlarged belly might be putting pressure on her digestive tract.

And oh no.... she has clear discharge coming from her nares here & there.

If she breathing okay?

Yes, breathing good. Spunky & energetic but, doing a mini sneeze/cough here & there with a little clear discharge

Try not to worry too much then. Is a vet an option? If so, you might want to have a vet look at her on Monday.

We do have a vet (only 1 that will see ducks) & shes great, but.... has admitted that she is o expert on ducks by any means. But I will still take her Monday for sure

Could clear liquid be water from dipping her head?

Ok, so... for some reason, 80% of the time she eats/drinks, she dips her Entire beak to her face into the water. I'm trying to hold her back a little more but not always easy. The fluid comes and goes, mostly after she eats & drinks for a little while..... its comes with a tiny cough/sneeze, & almost sounds a little congested. It goes away after some time, but I'm having to feed/water her in smaller portions because of this. She has a BIG appetite!!!

They love to dip their heads they keep their nares an eyes cleaned that way.

 

[DavisDucks]

Oh ok, . my older ducks have always just ducked their beaks.... they only duck their face when cleaning their nares or searching for something.

My Runners like to stand on tip toes and submerge head an half their body in their buckets. It really funny!

Mine too! They get up on their tip toes at the water buckets and I swear their whole head and neck and 1/2 their body gets dunked in. They all do it and do it a lot even though they have a pool.
