Orange poop

My ducks seem to have a very short "transit" time, they eat something and I see it in their poop shortly. Usually when my ducks have oddly colored poop it is from something they ate. Personally, I would discontinue offering anything except water and commercial food for a day or two and see what happens.

Unless your duck is also having any appetite decrease or lethargy, then I consider that an emergency.
She is just laying from last 2 weeks that's why she is eating more from her regular diet she is acting fine.
And today she poop better.
But what was that.
I have a male pekin he also eats the same feed but his poop color is same as his food.
I'm wondering maybe is this was a egg yolk because last night she jumped high and i feel an egg in her pouch 😕

I would associate the abnormal coloration to be most likely something you are feeding her. I may be wrong which is why it would be best to follow Kale's advice, and switch her to a very plain diet she is used to that excludes treats and vitamins. During this time I would also weigh her to gain objective measurements that she is actually eating/drinking enough.

If the issue persists, and perhaps she is losing weight I would see if your vet could take a look at her, and possibly perform a fecal smear/ float on her droppings for any abnormalities. Best of luck.

Alright I'll give her a very normal diet for few days to figure out.
I have contacted a vet today, he is giving her an antibiotic course for 3-10 days.
He examine a swelled vent area and her body temperature is about 108.
 
Normal body temp is around 107. Was the vet worried?
Also is this your duck that has been on so many antibiotics? Maybe get a probitoic for her.
Her tummy needs help getting back good bacteria.

Yes vet said to me it's a high temperature give her ice water.
In September 1st week she had on an antibiotic course and after the course i gave her probiotic as you suggest me.
 
The core body temperature of a duck is about 107 degrees. So 108 doesn't sound too bad. Will she drink ice water? also maybe a cool bath if you think she is running a fever. Just as in humans cool water can help bring down body temperature.

no she is not drinking ice water but drinking cold water.
actually i live in Karachi and here temperature mostly above than 30-35+ and sometimes precipitation in air is about 0% by which we faced extreme sophocation that's why i put her in an air conditioner room all the time when temperature is about this type and giving her cold water with electrolytes.
but now her fever is because of infection.
let me show you prescription of her i don't recognize the name of second one medicine.
 
I'm very thankful to byc family to improve my knowledge about ducks.

@Miss Lydia you always do help me and suggest me ❤️

Here in pic the 2nd one medicine ,i don't know what is that.
