I have 3 different ducklings, indian runner hatched with issues and because she was only one to hatch, we got 2 more ducklings to keep her company. Theodore is supposedly black Canya or Klaki Campbell and Eleanor is Welsh mix Canya or Campbell. I noticed Therodoe had watery diarrhea 1st day but it stopped. We've had him 9 days today and he started back to having watery diarrhea. He's 2wks old, doesn't act sick, eating and drinking. I let them swim once a day for 10-15mins then put them in a clean area with heat lamp to dry off. He drinks alot of water, feeding duck feed with niacin. Should I give him a different food or stop using pine shavings, or is it normal. Thank you for your time and help

That is very watery
Are all his poo like that ? Or just some
I notice if my ducks over drink water they have very wet poo
Sorry for late response. You've given me alot of help with my ducklings, different issues lol. When we first brought Theodore home he had this same runny poo, then it stopped, came back couple days ago but normal again now.

It could be he is drinking a lot
I agree with hollowofwisps
Watch to see if it happens after drinking or swimming
 
It is fairly liquify, but if you only observe it shortly after swimming or taking a big drink of water I wouldn’t be too worried. If it is constant that would be cause for concern.
Thank you, I appreciate it. Yeah it's not constant and he drinks a lot of water. I was wondering if I should limit there water but then I feel guilty lol. Thanks again
