6-7 weeks. In taking this shot I noticed mucus for the first time here and some bit of leaf stuck to it.

They do have a similar look and feel. But the duck definitely hasn't had access to any. They're soft but have a definite structure to them. As it they don't squish and disintegrate like undigested food would.

I give it some duck food a couple of times a day and normally oats, peas, corn, sharp sand. Yesterday it had two new foods, a grape and some lettuce (only a small amount, shredded, of which it left most). It also fourrages in the garden and ate a fair bit of soil yesterday afternoon. This is a...

I've had a mallard duckling since I rescued if 6 weeks ago. Everything has been going good until today when it's poo has changed dramatically. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas on the cause? I'm pretty worried for it. Thanks, Alex
