Is this poop normal?

I have a cpl Muscovy ducks who are pooping like this (see picture below). Is this normal? I’ve attached a pic of the hen and the drake who currently have this issue.

First time using backyard chickens… not sure why it says “hatching” under my name

My Muscovy ducks poop looks different depending on what they are eating. If they seem healthy, I don't worry about it. Looks like a lovely ducky place but how do you deal with protection from predators.
Your name has 'hatching" because you are new member. Welcome to a great resource.

Thank you!
Yes, I think they’re all happy with their home . I’m actually outside with them most of the time. The 7 of them are my bff’s . Lol I consistently watch the sky for hawks and they are always locked away in their coop from dusk til I awake after dawn. Unfortunately Baby (one of our 5 hens) was attacked by a hawk back in January. Was quite the traumatic event as I walked out to her being attacked and screamed for hubby and he stopped it. She was injured quite badly, there was blood everywhere on the snow, she had a hole in her head, her eye was a mess, her neck was broken (or I assume as she was not able to love her head, just kind of hung there). But we brought her in, I gave her antibiotics that I had for another pet as well as pain meds, I cleaned it consistently, kept fresh wrapping on the wounds, braved her neck the best I could, syringe fed her ect. Well she made it! 3 months we kept her in the house. Now she has a crooked neck, a hole in her skull, 90% blind in one eye…. but she eats, drinks, swims, flies, runs, socializes, has no difficulties defending herself, Assists other hens with sitting on the nest (as she is not laying), but seems to be very happy. Not sure we did the right thing… wish I knew for sure if she was suffering, but like I said, she seems quite happy. I didn’t take pics until days after the attack, but you see pics of what she is now, and others from this journey to healing.

Glad Baby made it!
