My male duck is making weird noises???

Can you send another link to the video or describe the noise?
My Indian runner drakes are making a faint horn sound. He cranes his neck and puffs his chest out and then a strange noises comes after. I have never heard this from them before but they are less than a year old.

Hope this helps!

Time to find a new vet... Shouldn't be prescribing antibiotics without testing for infection, and certainly not for courtship displays...

I think my drake actually farts sometimes during his display...

You'll realize that most of the strange stuff you see your ducks doing is trying to engage in courtship displays on land, when they would normally happen in the water in the wild

This is hilarious! I was just telling my mom my drakes do this and it's so funny but they wouldn't do it for her(scardy cats). Now I can show her! Thank you!

Oh my gosh! I know this was a few years ago but I’ve been searching EVERYWHERE for a video like this, thinking my Rouen drake had a respiratory issue. He eats normal (i think- first time duck owner) and poops normal and has so much energy but he does this every single morning and 2-3 times throughout the day. But only in the pool! I was so worried about him thinking he was sick but could never find a video of a duck sneezing like that. Praise the lord for this group!!! I’m so relieved!!!
