Duckling sneezing

[Bridger Davis]

One of my Cayuga ducks (4 days old) keeps sneezing many times in a row and then itching her bill and face and shaking her head. Something is likely stuck in her nasal area... What can be done?!

Thanks in advance everyone!!

And yes, the water is deep enough for their bills...

I assume your water is deep enough? What type of bedding are you using? Lots of things make them appear to sneeze early on.

Old towels. She is legit sneezing too and can't even go a minute without sneezing only one of them, too!

Make sure you provide a water dish deep enough they can dip their entire bills in up to their nostrils to clean them out. It should blow it out on its own.

Thanks...The water dish would appear to be deep enough, and it's been going on all day...

Is it's bowl of water deep enough that it can rinse it's nares? Have you checked to see if their is something stuck?

Hum. . can you see anything in the nostril area? Any drainage coming out?
You should be able to see straight through one side to the other. Can you tell if it's clogged?

Thanks guys. Let me get her and get a light and check it out. Earlier I didn't see anything. Hopefully we can get this taken care of before their bedtime
