Try getting a picture today if it happens again.

I just woke up and my duckling did a poop that was brown with a little bit of like a peachy slimey part. Is that normal? If she does it again I’ll take a photo, because I cleaned out the brooder and didn’t take a photo. But is that normal?

This is good for you to be asking questions.

But also, you would want to note activity levels. (And because of that stick with a routine.) You can think like, does it look stressed? How does it look today compared to yesterday? Does it have trouble walking or moving? Does it act injured still? How lively is it?

Now we anticipate some of those questions to not be perfect. But what you'll want to do is compare today to yesterday in terms of activity, and tomorrow compared to today. Resting isn't bad, and not a negative sign as long as she's still eating.
