Old enough to be off Chick starter and a Grower/Finisher at 16% is sufficient. All flock feed.Poop seems normal though decreased significantly while withholding food which I would think is normal. Feeding high protein chick starter and brewers yeast. Going to the feed store for grit today.
I’m not sure. I had just taken her out of confinement without food and water so she wasn’t able to bathe herself. None of the others have it. I guess I just assumed it was “sleep” in her eye and hadn’t taken a bath.
She is in a pen. There’s sandy dirt but I don’t know if that’s enough. No rocks.Ducks don't actually have crops. Ducks have "rudimentary crops", but not true crops - their esophagus will expand to accommodate excess feed, but it's not a real crop. Food shouldn't sit it in for over 24 hours.
She also should be able to be finding her own grit since she's outside and able to find rocks etc. But adding grit won't hurt.
I'm hoping this isn't a case of her eating something she shouldn't have which has caused a blockage somewhere. If the problem persists, you might want to try giving her vegetable oil to try to move any blockage.
