Poop picture-should I be concerned?

[shiningeyes]

Another weird green poo today. Is eating grass but doesn't seem interested in her pellets. Did eat a little duck food. They have always loved that. Not eating the little bit of scratch I throw for them either. Vets not open until Monday. Any ideas?

Update: I brought her inside in a small crate. She ate some hard boiled egg and is eating some mashed up moistened duck/chicken feed mix. The duck feed has higher protein/fat and the chickens are always scrambling to try and sneak some so I was hoping it might entice her. She will only eat very small pieces of pellets. Even when moistened. I had to thoroughly mash them up. I had noticed a couple weeks ago she was throwing out all the larger pellets but she seemed fine so I thought maybe she was just being picky. Maybe it's actually a symptom?

Can you post more pictures? Next step, if it still looks abnormal would be to have it tested for bacteria and/or yeast.

Kathy do you mind checking out the new pictures? And do you know if it's simple to check for bacteria? I think when I brought one of my ducks in the vet said there are so many it was going to cost a whole lot of money so to just do antibiotics. I think you've been to the vet in Monterey (I'm going to one a little closer) so I do t know if you have experience with the testing.

Is there anyway that you could put her/him in a pen with nothing but crumble or pellets?

I did put her in a small crate. I gave her some hard boiled egg at first which she ate. I have pellets in there as well as some mash. She has been spitting out the bigger pellets for awhile now and only eating the tiny pieces. Seems the same today. She won't touch her layer feed but ate some of the small pieces of duck pellets and ate some of the combined mash. Is it best to leave her with just pellets for awhile or just try and get her to eat anything? She's also moulting-whether a normal molt (both my ducks are too) or die to stress or illness I'm not sure. I have an appointment Monday morning with the vet. My husband is probably going to kill me for it since we don't have the funds though

Quote: If one of mine were pooping green I would try to rule out the food being the cause. Keep trying non-green foods and see what she'll eat.

So not sure if anyone will see this but thought I'd update. I've had my girl in a crate since about noon yesterday. She had one poop between then and 4-4:30ish and two bloops between then and this morning at 6. She free ranged before I put her in her crate and ate a little food and grit when I put her in. I left her food in overnight but it doesn't really look like she ate. It was a very small amount if any. However, when I felt her drop this morning t was noticeable and hard. Not huge but I can definitely tell where it is. I'm thinking maybe she has a slightly impacted crop? She's pooping solid poops so something's going through so maybe not a full impaction. I don't think it's sour as it's not squishy at all. I think I'll try giving her some olive oil and withhold food for awhile this morning. Anyone who sees this please feel free to chime in with thoughts/suggestions!
