Poo color

[Duckmama08]

My female duck was attacked by a fox a few nights ago. We brought her in & isolated her from the rest. Cleaned her wound & now her poo is a minty/lime green. Can somebody help me out

?

what has she eaten? green treats will do that

I gave her the regular layer feed & a piece of zucchini.

Did you see the picture with the color? just doesn't seem normal to me. This is also my first year raising ducks. I've always had turkeys.

i wouldn’t be worried about it. their poop turns purple when you feed them blueberries

Oh wow! Thats definitely strange haha. Are there any signs of sickness i should look for?

not eating or drinking, lethargic, not standing up at all. she’s a girl right? if she’s of laying age, could she be egg bound?

Well she's been eating & drinking pretty good. I was reading that if they've been wounded to leave them in quiet & let them rest which what I've been doing. But when I seen that color of poo I got worried. Should I take the zucchini out for couple days? She has been laying but they are weird shaped & squishy

add either oyster shells or egg shells to her diet. the soft shell eggs mean that she is lacking calcium
