Duck doing massive poo

[JuneAndDaisyDuckz]

Hi, I have two ducks and one of them has started doing an abnormally large amount of poo, right after I open them in the morning, is this normal. I have taken a photo...

Is she broody?
Looks like diarrhoea. Apply vinegar in water.

What does broody mean?

wants to hatch eggs. Spend time in the house/nest.

Thank you as well

Your welcome!

I will put some vinegar in water

Good-oh!

Oh ok, not really, but she does grab dead grass to bring into her coop, both my ducks are females

 

[SulkyBantam]

sounds a bit broody, does she sit on eggs?

When you're seeing that large of poops, it's likely the hen is nesting, and the hen is holding in her feces to prevent contamination of her eggs on the nest, so she only goes out to defecate once. If the duck is in the coop a lot, that would support that claim.

I agree, especially if she’s doing it like clockwork when u open up the coop like you said. You’ve got a broody!
