[stumble_n_mumble]

my duck is pooping this... what is it... it is freaking me out! please help me!

 

[stumble_n_mumble]

they are all round balls. they almost are like fat. they break open WHAT IS THIS! PLEASE!! SOMEONE HELP!

 

[Amiga]

Well, yuck!

Breathe.

Do they move?

I cannot be here long right now, but I will look up some things and try to get back to you asap.

Gross.

Glad you are a caring duck person. Hang on!

Could it be something the duckling ate that swelled up on its way through? (I had a coenzyme Q10 capsule that got lost in a cup of water for a day - that thing gave me the shudders when I found it.)

 

[stumble_n_mumble]

this is not from my duckling lol this is from my yr old pekin hen outside. they do not move. but have blood spots on them

I don't have ducks, but could it possibly be eggs and she needs more calcium in her diet.
Just taking a shot in the dark here.

i believe it is 1 single poop that all of that came out of. it is in other places too besides the spot i took pictures of.

 

[stumble_n_mumble]

:'( Anyone??!!

 

[Bleenie]

WOW

that looks very yucky. i dont mean to make you feel worse or anything but MAN that picture gives me the heebie jeebies..id be freaking out too!!

I would get ahold of a vet if no one on here has any ideas of what it is or how to fix it soon.

This is just a wild guess but maybe they're cyst-like things she's developing and expelling?? (like chicken Lash but smaller) Whats inside of them? cysts would have blood or puss in them.



I would also isolate her to control her feed & water intake, to make sure theres nothing weird and also just in case it is some kind of 'contagious' parasite.

maybe try some apple cider vinegar in her water & cayenne pepper in her feed?? it helps chickens sometimes.

ok, this is going to sound so gross but...

get some gloves and see if they feel 'rubbery' at all. Chicken lash (cysts) usualy feel rubbery and when cut open have yucky stuff inside them. chicken lash is usually the size of an egg but can be all mis-shapen too. never head of it with ducks but ya never know!

i was rolling it around like a rubber ball and it was kind of tough but i pierced it with a stick... and it had the same looking stuff inside. not oozing or anything but the same color it was filled with..... is this gonna kill my baby?
