Help!!Ducklings panting with clear nasal discharge

[Rattee]

If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

They cooled down, I put them in a bigger brooder with heat on only one side, and all seemed well until today. 3 of them are panting/breathing rapidly, have lots of clear nasal discharge and one of them had a wet cough. I read it could be aspergillosis. What do you think? I can’t sleep I’m so worried

@MasterOfClucker help is needed! I have no experience with this sort of thing.

I found this web page and from what I read it sounds like they can get it from wet bedding.

The rauen is the worst, and I think there’s a correlation between him being the smallest and possibly the most unhealthy.
The Pekin is bad too, and always pants, but this video doesn’t show the worst of it. This time, I know it’s not heat-related as they have plenty of cool spots to go to and the temp is around the amount that it should be for their age (80°F)

Can you move them to an area around room temp for a few min and see if the panting stop's, I can almost guarantee they will.

I will, and I really hope it’s that and not aspergillosis. My worry wart is coming out for all to see

Ond thing you should know is Waterfowl are very healthy birds, most problems stem from poor management practices and doesn't stem from the birds themselves in general. You'd be surprised how much those heat lamps put off, I can say without a doubt, the number one cause of panting is usually heat-related.

Alrighty, I’ll do better in the future. Thank you all!
