My duck has been making a crunching or crackling noice from inside her. She is breathing a little faster then my other duckling. Also she has a tough belly and has a hard piece of something around her butt. Please help !

she might be having respiratory problems, or her vent is clogged and you need to wipe the thing on her butt, (Hard poo,) off with a warm wet paper towel gently.

It sounds like an egg broke inside of her. Is a vet an option?

are you giving her apple cider vinegar in her water or VetRx? you should if you're not.

I personally have never seen fowl pox on a duckling... are there bumps or dots in her throat? google has cures for that.

This doesn’t sound like it’s respiratory.

How old is your duck? Is a vet an option? Pictures videos really help us help you. To put a video here you need to put it on you tube or Vimeo and then copy and paste here.

Apple cider vinegar isn’t going to be very helpful. VetRx would be, but only if she was obviously struggling to breathe.

The apple cider just helps in other ways, I do agree in wouldn't help much with that specifically.
