Hi everyone one of my 2 week ducklings is making a faint honking like sound very quietly every so often with a slight clicking like noise too? I’m really worried, and I can hear him/her breathing through nostrils quite a lot. Any help would be very helpful thank you
 
is it eating and drinking fine? any lethargy? could possibly be a respiratory infection, though it doesn't sound like it could be too serious as of now

All of them are eating and drinking they quite often make these strange raspy breathing noises out of their nostrils though. However there’s no discharge or anything
 
Could you post a video of them?

How big is there brooder, and what is the temperature?

Sorry I’m struggling to get it on video as it’s not as loud now so you can barely hear it, I’ve got them in a dog wielding box at the minute so they have quite a lot of room, I’m not sure the exact temperature but probably in between 15-20 degrees c. I don’t think it’s too hot as they still sleep under the heat plate at night but I’m not sure
