Muscovy duck spitting up

[Muscovygirl426]

My female who is roughly 7 months old jus spit up brown liquid. We noticed the male was doing the same thing a few minutes prior. He is about a year and a half. Their diet consists of crumble feed and what they forage for. Every now and then I give them greens from the store. They seem healthy in all other sense. She spit up when I was trying to pick her up and put her in the Hut with the other female who has been picking on her. The male was doing it when our dog was sniffing him. Is this something I should be worried about or is it something they did because of stress. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You'd best check with the members over on the Duck forum (I've only raised chickens), hopefully it's nothing serious. Here's a link to take you there:

Welcome!

As suggested, I agree with asking the folks on the Duck Forum or you could try posting on the Emergencies & Diseases Forum: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures

I do hope that your duck is OK.

I also hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends

I would imagine the spitting up could be partly due to anxiety - especially the one who gets picked on. I wouldn't want to share space with a bully either.
