Hi. I'm really worried about my duckling Mango. She is an 8 day old white crested female. she weighs 6.1 oz.

Tuesday she swam for the first time. that was also her first time outside. She has been eating the same food as all the other ducklings since I got her.

I noticed today that her breathing sounded, off. It was very noticable and she was breathing heavy too. The only way I know how to describe it is that it sounds like very light, airy footsteps through dead leaves.


She otherwise acts normal. Eating, drinking, running around. Does her poop look normal? I'm really worried about her! Its my fault she's sick. I didn't check over the ducklings yesterday : (

She's all better now!! Turns out she just wasn't able to clear her nostrils properly, so I gave her a bigger waterer and she cleared her nose immediately!
