something wierd going on with chest

[HSerChickLady]

One of my Swedish ducklings has a spot right in the middle of her chest where you can see it sucking in and then comes back out when she's standing up nice and tall peeking at me. It almost seams like it's happening with each breathe but she moves so much i can't tell and when i hold her you can't see it at all. None of the others do this. She seams fine otherwise. Just wondering if anyone might know what is going on? I can't find anything in my books and this is my first batch of ducks so i'm pretty much clueless. Thanks!

is she under 4 mns old? If so she will fill out it is normal when they are smaller. If not can you take a picture?

My Zehn had pronounced cleavage when she was younger. Some of my runners had this, others did not. I wonder if that is what you are seeing.

She's only 2 1/2 weeks old.

I think it is normal - the cleavage is sometimes more pronounced in some females than others. By 4 months they will fill out nicely and it wont be so obvious. It looks very abnormal early on though.
