is my duck sick help pls! :(

[Amiga]

I see white stuff often in my duck's poop. Doesn't seem to be anything to worry about. Is the duck getting grit? Just wondering. It helps digest the food.

Usually if they're outside on soil, they get enough on their own. But birds that are confined (in my case, in the winter the snow covers the soil), I like to give them a few sprinkles of grit a few times a week.

Ok, if it is a male, then of course it does not need supplemental calcium. I guess eating feathers could change the poop color somewhat. Everything they eat changes it to some degree.

A duck - and birds in general have a different waste removal system to other animals. Something like this is the equivalent of urine. Very normal.

if it was normal how come he never pooped this before?
