Weird noise from duck

[gomme600]

Hello,

One of my ducks is making a weird noise. Sounds a bit like sneezing?

Does anyone know what it could be ?

Thanks

How old is the duck and is it male or female?
Does it have any other weird behavior or health issue?

It's female and about a year old. I haven't noticed any other weird behaviour and she still seems happy, eating and bathing with her sister.

My guess is that sometimes it eats too much food and needs a drink of water to get the food down, so its quack is weird.
Is its quack always like that, or does it get better?

Maybe, it doesn't seem to be correlated to eating though. She seems to be doing better today. It started a few weeks ago.

Hm, then I'm not sure what it is...
It could be the start of a respiratory problem.

I've heard mine doing that and it means here anyway that they have too much of something caught and need a drink to wash it down. Foraging and eating their treats and food I have noticed it.
