You are right to notice the difference in their poop. I have a duck who as a duckling always had somewhat runny dark brown poo, and at first I was concerned. But it just appears there is something in her digestive system that causes that. They came from a reputable hatchery, have had good care, everyone seems fine. I remember being shocked one day - everyone had almost black feces…then I remembered the day before was their first day outside. They had eaten so much soil, it blackened their poo. sheesh.
So, I think we develop nerves of steel with these littles. Because they can hide illness, we need to watch for subtle changes. And not all the subtle changes mean they are ill. phew.
