Please help

[Magnolia Ducks]

Come back if that doesn't work. Mine are 11 days and it got down to 48 here last night and they didn't spend much time in the heat cave.

Right now I am not home, so I can’t take a picture yet. The place they are staying is big enough to move, yesterday I moved the brooder I have so half is covered by the light and the other is not. I have been cleaning the cage pretty much every day, completely stripping it, it should not be moldy at all and no mold in feed. The panting has stopped, and sneezing is still occasional. Can you please explain the different between tail bobbing and wagging? I’m sorry if I sound uneducated.

- Tail Wagging

Tail Bobbing in a young duckling, most likely because of too much heat.

Tail Wagging is usually a side to side motion, while tail bobbing is an up and down motion, usually caused by when they are having a hard time breathing or panting because it's too hot, the tail moves significantly because they are taking in deep breaths.

I have moved half of the container out of the lamp so one half is heated and the other is not, but it is not too cold. Thank you so much for your help

Great! Hopefully the panting will have stopped once you get back.

Glad to hear, most "respiratory problems" on here is actually the bird being too hot.

 

[Pressleyr]

Yeah, I almost didn’t say anything, because I know a lot of the symptoms were probably because they were too hot, but the sneezing is what was worrying me the most, so I decided to ask, thank you again!
