New duck mom!

Hello, and Welcome to BYC!

Is that all their poop? From the picture, I see some solids, and I do see some water, but perhaps they spilled some water and it's mixed together and appears as if its diarrhea. Duck droppings are usually more "watery" than most fowl, other factors can contribute to the consistency like the temperature they are being kept in, disease, etc.

I'd first make sure what they are actually producing because to me it looks as if they defecated and spilled water over top of that. How are they acting?

, it’s a bad picture but I’ve observed it coming out of its behind. It’s definitely not a normal poop from what I’ve experienced. I also have two ducks in the tub. The other one, pickles, is just fine with poop consistency. Quackles literally has a liquid brown poop for nearly a solid week. I’ve added some Hydro Hen into their water to try and help them based off the suggestion of some more seasoned duck owners I know through my job. They act completely fine. Eat, drink, play, swim all normally.
