Yes they are all together through out the day only at night are they separated into their own housing. What was really funny was my Game bantam roo trying to take on the gander. Wish I'd gotten those times on video.

HERE ARE THE BEST PICS I CAN TAKE
Nate hard to tell on the pics does it have nostril but they are clogged up or it doesn't have nostrils at all? I agree a vet maybe able to open them if there is something like a thin membrane that needs to be cut.HERE ARE THE BEST PICS I CAN TAKE
Saline solution is pretty safe antibiotic also if you cannot get ahold of opthalmic antibiotic. But putting triple antibiotic near the eye will likely help also.
nate1, I agree a vet is best - and if you can get better pics that might be helpful, they may be plugged with something that could be rinsed out by using a syringe without a needle and some purified lukewarm water.
In a few hours, my handsome drake Pekin, "Aflac" will be on his way to his new home. He and his harem of Crested ducks will be living with a family with geese & chickens from the BYC forums. It's a bittersweet moment, as there is no real reason we're re-homing them...other than we've realized we're more chicken people than duck people. I hope he lives a long life & makes lots of cute ducklings in his future. He's as sweet as he is good-looking. My family & I will miss "Aflac", "The Three Musketeers" & "Brownie"...but we know they are going to a good home.

You know you realized it and did the best thing by waiting till someone who loves ducks wanted them, not always such a happy ending sad to say, so thank you for going about it the right way. Best always to you and your flock of chickens.

X2 Happy to hear you found them a good home.
Well our bathtub is leaking so were collecting the water and putting it with our animals and I got done watering with it and I said can i put the ducky momos in the tub so i did and when we put them back its nostrils were open it was really weird lol cause it was closed by the beach and maybe from swimming underwater it got it loose and she sneezed and it fell out lol
That's great news, that is one reason we harp about making sure duckling/ducks have water deep enough to keep their nares cleaned and open. they eat crumble next thing you know if they don't have deep enough water their nares are clogged up. So glad your parents saw it.
