Snoring duck or respiratory distress?

[Stoney Meadow Maple]

This went on for quite a while, if he’s just snoring I guess no big deal? But is there another issue?

They are cute!

an upper respritory infection usualy shows up has drippy eyes and discharge from the bill or nares and wheezing. And check their nares for blockages

Another thing you probably know but I should mention anyway is that ducks need water that is deep enough that they can wash their bills, nares, and eyes out in

I agree with @Jpat , Respiratory diseases in waterfowl, you're going to be noticing other symptoms, If he is acting normal I wouldn't be concerned, just provide deep water.

That white “shoe box” they are resting on is a 6 quart container about 6” deep also they get a swim every night, seem to spend 1/2 to 1 hour in there while I clean the cage in the evening.

Then you should be fine, I wouldn't be surprised if he was snoring Pekins are lazy birds.

Especially that one. Waiting to find out if that’s a drake. They are getting feathers, but so far no drake feathers.. kind of hoping we don’t have one, is there any good way for an amateur to tell?
