I don't remember this with my last ducklings. . .but I have seen both my current ducklings and my gosling, "spit up" after eating or drinking. It is not just what is in their mouth, but regurgitation, like a baby spits up. They shake their head and it flings out in this big, mucusy string, complete with food bits. . .It seems to be worse with the gosling--when I take her out to bond with her, she will usually during a 30 minute period do this at least twice. It literally is just like a baby spitting up.
Is this normal, or is something wrong?
Everything else seems fine, they are healthy, happy, little piggies. Plenty of eating and pooping.
I am feeding them waterfowl/gambird feed from manna pro and once a day I grind up greens and oatmeal and mix them in. I also sprinkle parakeet grit on their foot at least once a day.
Thanks for any help.
 
I have only seen them do it when they get excited. If they come to you, they are excited to be with you

if they try to excape the stress causes them to sick up!
