I never paid attention to the color. Are you still feeding them whole uncooked grains?

-Kathy

Yes as the feed is available in other city so I have to go and buy it , I will buy the feed in 2 - 3 days .........

@Dean321 ask about grit too. it is very important they have grit to help them grind up their feed while it sit in their crop. grit is pretty inexpensive. If you have coconut oil rub some on their red skin and see it it helps.

Bulge means looking at your duckling from the front you can see where the skin is sticking out some? that is what bulge means it's where they have eaten and the food is sitting while they grind it up in their crops.

I'm pretty sure your ducklings are fine mine get red sometimes they'll be okay nothing is probably wrong and I would always take casportpony's advice she knows ALOTTTT

-Kathy

what do you meant by it ?

 

[casportpony]

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.

I will take some before and after pictures of mine.
