It isnt clogged much anymore after I switch to a proper water container and now my other duck is sneezing :(! I need advice please first time duck owner
 
I went to the farm store and got a proper one I'm pretty sure they can there rouen ducks 3 weeks I'm gonna give them a lil swim here to help unclog but only one duck was clogged the other one isnt but now the one who wasnt clog is sneezing a bit I'm just worried first time only ducks
 
Ducklings do sneeze. Is there any mucus from the nostrils or are the eyes gunked up?
You can take a container with a lid and cut a hold out so that they can not get in but can dunk their heads. Make the holes smaller or larger depending on how big your ducklings are.
I made one out of a milk jug too. Here is what mine looked like. They could drink, but not submerge themselves. The one is orange because it had electrolytes in it. :)

Were they able to get up into the container to drink from it? Honestly the waterer you have in the pic - they might be able to use for a bit - and as long as they can dip their eyes and nares in it is ok, but they will need a deep container eventually. That is the container they use at tsc, but not proper for ducklings to dip their head in - which is what they need to do.
How long have you had the ducklings?
 
You might want to get some save-a-chick probiotics and electrolytes and give them some separately from fresh water (so that they have two containers of water one fresh and one with the electrolytes in it).

A couple of days I got them from a friend and she thinks the water is okay its deeper then it looks in the picture..I just don't want them to die from anything
 
I put back the deeper container I had before just incase now..
