My ducklings poop is really liquidy...

[taliari]

I posted a recent thread that one of my ducks had thrown up. They both seemed to just have a really runny poop and it made me a bit worried. They drink a lot of water, tried new fruits a few days ago (very little bit), and are eating their regular food. They go outside on the lawn and eat whatever they see like grass mostly so that’s the only thing I can imagine that is not good. I’m hoping everything is ok... thoughts?

Could you post a picture of the poop?

Yes. This is only one of their poop, I didn’t take a picture of the other but it was a bit darker and a bit more liquid. This is after it dried a little becuase I thought it would be easier to clean up.... I was wrong haha

That does not look abnormal to me, but we can see what @casportpony thinks. Since you are giving them treats, and allowing them to graze are you providing chick grit so they can digest the fibrous material? What brand of feed are you using?

I ordered the chicken grit and it should come tomorrow. I haven’t given them more treats and I won’t until the grit comes. The feed I am issuing is manna pro duck starter grow crumble.

Do you have a food scale that you weigh them on? If they are making good daily weight gains then I don't think you need to worry right now.

Ok, I haven’t but I will definitely make sure. They are growing quick like any normal duckling. Thanks so much for the help!!
