I've only had chickens, so is she getting ready to lay an egg or is something wrong with her??

I’ve had ducks for 3 years and have never heard this sound before either.. very curious if someone else knows!

I have 2 ducks...1 male and 1 female...they were bought at tractor supply. They both are very healthy ducks...other than this sound...she seems fine.

I'm no expert but unless I'm feeding or watering they run scared to death. I have1 duckling by himself in the brooder now. I let him react with a few week older coturnix quail 30 minutes later Separated the due to duckling having a bald bloody spot on his head. Whenever I doctor his head he acts like I'm killing him. And squeals. I have a few. Just a few. Years With ducks. But looks and sounds like she trusts you. She may made a impression...or maybe breeding age???

ok so i’ve had ducks 9 years and i have two runners the same as yours and
that reminds me of a breathing problem from fungus called aspergillus
keep an eye on her she may need treatment
have you had any straw around that smells a little musty
That’s what happened to us, and my runner ducks were the most sensitive to it. The other ducks are fine for the most part.
I am still treating for aspergillosis using Oxine AH
The majestic waterfowl sanctuary has a good write up on aspergillosis treatment

I agree that sound is not normal I have had ducks 20 yrs and never heard that sound.
