Milky duck poop?

[keitorin]

@keitorin
   Water fowl need alot more niacin than what is in Chick starter so to be safe and make sure they have strong legs I'd get them started on some Nutritional yeast or Brewers yeast [not baking yeast] 1 Tab per cup of feed till they are 10 weeks old.  That is when they are growing the fastest. 

If they are eating egg white than that could be the culprit. What my ducks and poultry eats always shows up in their poop and as long as it doesn't have blood in it I just think back to what they had been eating previously. 

It's good to be concerned but if they are acting okay in every other way it is probably nothing to be concerned about You can also buy probiotics that are made for poultry look in your feed store or TSC

Thank you!

Thank you!

Hi there. I have noticed the same milky poop with my girls and saw this post from last year. Just wondering what the outcome was with your babies. Thanks.

They are doing wonderful! I think it was just the eggs we fed them. They both grew up to be boys (wonderful ) and are very happy. They have no heath issues! I hope you have no problems with your girls!

I notice my ducks poop looking like that a lot. Especially if they are forceful poops with lots of water.

Could you start your own thread, and answer these questions?

What is the temperature where you live? Is the duck eating and drinking? How old?

My baby ducks are about 3 weeks old and i've noticed one has milky white watery poop, i've never seen this before, is it normal? Their diet consist of; dumor chick starter, and i usually cook them an egg as a bedtime snack, they also get taken outside for a little bit every day, so they will eat grass and mud.

I’m having the same problem , did you find out the cause ? Tonight is the first time I have seen this and I’m always checking their poop and I keep the brooder very clean well as clean as possible I clean it sometimes 4 times a day with sanitary wipes to help with any bacteria and I’m filling their water a lot but I need to get them a bigger waterer.. please let me know what you found out mine are 12 days old.
