What should normal duck poop look like ?

Normal duck poop can look different everyday depending on what they are eating. but it is mostly watery and that's because they drink a lot of water while eating. which is normal.

They do walk but seem to plopping down today and they do to be lazier today i guess also they don't like to eat out of bowl they like it scattered

Is it hot where you live/ that maybe another reason why they are plopping down so much, I was just outside watching my 4-1 weeks olds and they were doing the same thing, they will plop down get up and then plop again. Try not to worry and just enjoy them.

I use pine shavings, some use horse stall pellets and a mix of both, straw, hay, the poo just stays on top and stays nasty, I think the pine shaving absorbs better, I just scoop out the nasty and fluff up and add more when needed. TSC and most feed stores carry large bales of it from 4.50 to 5.50.
