Now with another duckling this thing is happened also 2 other ducklings have the same problem on the same side ......
Please help me!










Do you know what crop is?

-Kathy
 
To me it looks like it's probably just a full crop, which should look like that after they've eaten, but it should be empty in the morning before they start eating again.

#2 is the crop, it's where their food is stored before it goes into the Proventriculus (stomach).

Duck:

1. Oesophagus
2. Crop
3. Proventriculus
4. Gizzard
5. Pancreas
6. Duodenum
7. Liver
8. Gallbladder
9. Ileum
10. Caecum
11. Cloaca

Then whats on the crop of my ducklings its red and no hair
 
Did you know that different birds have different shaped crops?

Pretty sure peafowl and chickens are either the second or third from the left, ducks are the one on the left, pigeons are fourth to the right and I have no idea what type of bird has one like the right most.
