Why is my Muscovy Hen drinking weird

[PreTTyBird00]

I have a Muscovy Hen and when she goes to drink unlike the other muscovy ducks she raises her head high and back every time she drinks and it just looks weird and I feel bad that she has to do that compared to the other muscovy Hens that just take a sip without having two raise there heads up fast.

I'm Wondering if anyone knows why she had to do that to drink?

Does she kind of peck the water and flick her head back? My hen does that. She doesn't seem to realize she can sip the water. Maybe mine just never learnt to drink properly.

Yes thats what she does!

My Mallards always look up when swallowing. They'll take a sip then fling water all over me as they look up. Idk but it looks kinda majestic lol

My 4 ducklings all drink like that. I just assumed it was normal! They dip their bills in the water then tip their heads up to swallow

Well it's normal to put their heads back a bit. But my hen dunks her whole head in.

my ducks do the same thing i just chalked it up to they like to make a mess lol

Yes, ducks dunk their whole heads. It keeps their eyes, and nostrils cleared out. Their water dishes should accommodate this.
