My Muscovy hen just hatched 7 eggs last week, the ducklings are healthy but the hen has explosive yellow butt pea. It smells horrid. Not her regular firm droppings, is this something that goes with the hatch and stress of new mom or do I need to get her on something to help her get back to normal?
Thank you for any advice. Picture below

Oh boy! Your duck has a bad timing. I'm not the expert for duck-poop nor for Muscovies, i have only Mallard derived duck breeds. Their poop varies a lot, dependent of what they ate. @casportpony might be back later today, she has the most experience when it comes to poop-diagnostics. Can you please post a picture of that horrible stuff?
Momma duck and her babies look fantastic though! Congratulations! :clap
