She usually has a normal faster than the other ducks quack. She is my only runner. Within the last week I've noticed it sounding odd and squeaky like when their voice starts to change but she seemed to have a pretty solid quack, a young girl quack but still a quack. Today she started sounding more like a seagull when she quacks than a duck. Then as the day progressed it got higher and tonight sounds light and almost like a whisper, maybe cause she's calmed down. She's eating, drinking and acting high strung and all over the place as normal, it's just her sound that's off.

Any changes lately including bedding?
 
Nope no changes. She just progressively got squeaky when quacking like it would when they're voice is going from duckling peep to lady quack only she already had her quack. I'll try to attach a video
It won't allow videos, only shows photos as an option to upload. I'll have to load it to YouTube and attach the link
 
She doesn't look sick, maybe something in her environment? You could try some VetRX and see if it helps.
Yeah she's acting completely normal just her quack is a squeak. It's more squeaky today than yesterday but with an occasional quack every now and then so maybe it's coming around cause yesterday I didn't hear any quacking. I have vetrx on hand and started it last night in her water. Also, ACV and garlic. She also usually gets an immune support powder in her feed daily :)
 
Have you been having a lot of rain? some are more sensitive to mold mildew than others. It's just really hard to know but if she is eating drinking pooping normal and interacting with her flock all you can do is watch for other symptoms. Hopefully it is nothing to be worried about.
