Is this green poop normal?

Is this color of green normal? This is in their shavings. I picked up 2 muscovies the other day and noticed their shavings were very green from their poop. I was told that they were fed game bird feed and since I've gotten them, I've only fed them all flock crumbles. I don't know if they were fed anything in addition to the game bird feed. They are in quarantine right now, they seem to act normal, and they feel healthy.

Could be they were eating grass or vegetation where they were originally? It doesn’t look like sick green poop but let’s get the poop inspector over here @casportpony

Probably best to keep them in quarantine and make sure they're eating and drinking. Here's a sick poop from one of mine that wasn't eating well for comparison. She was pooping much smaller amounts than in your picture, but she was 5 weeks old.

I give my chickens quite a bit of kale from the garden. The poop from these feedings is green like this. I second that they may have been eating lots of greens.

Probably they’ve been eating a lot veggies and grass. So it’s normal

Thank you all! I changed out their shavings and will be keeping an eye on them. The previous owner owned a lot of fowl and also would cull them to eat them. I'm guessing she must've fed greens and table left overs. I feel a bit more at ease with knowing that this doesn't look like poop of a sick duck

You could also add some bird probiotics to their drinking water for a while.

Thank you! I just added some, hopefully that'll help
