Mine are on flock raiser. 20% protein, its kinda solid.

I do give them spinach at bath time it makes it green.

Think about all that water they put away, I think solid scoopable poop is just a dream with ducks.LOL Tell me how to keep enough water out for them without causing my building to flood.

According to Nettie's treat list, Spinach is considered a Toxic food for ducks. Try peas instead, it also makes their poop green

for OP, it's natural for duck poop to be runny, it's nothing to worry about.

Toxic is a bit too strong of a word. Spinach contains high levels of oxalate which binds very easily with calcium. It essentially prevents ducks (as well as humans) from absorbing calcium in their food and can cause kidney stones. Despite the fact that spinach contains a decent amount of calcium, the oxalate is believed to completely offset that. Please note that oxalate is NOT bad for your or your ducks - consistently high levels of oxalate in their diet is.

Spinach once in a while is perfectly okay unless you have ducks that having egg laying issues such as thin shells.

Duck poop is supposed to be "watery" but not "water". If you feed them the correct diet, all will be fine. Make sure that it is game bird starter (with niacin) to start and then game bird grower at age 4 months or so. Treats.... well be careful!

mixed grains will firm the poop up a little, and if not sprinkle a little wood ash on top before you scoop. makes the job easier.
