Poop too green?

[Isaac 0]

The droppings look abnormal to me as well - I suggest you contact a veterinarian in your area and ask if they will perform a gram stain and a fecal floatation. Both tests are fairly cheap, and will give information pertaining to the bacterial load in the feces, and whether there are parasites such as worms.

If a vet is not an option, there are places online you can send the droppings to for test:

My ducks eat peas and kale, so some green poop is normal. The photo is pretty runny acid green poop, though. Could be an infection. I agree with the others about better quality feed. You can order Purina Duck from Amazon, and Mazuri is great with shipping quickly. Nobody around here sells those brands.

Mazuri is great feed. And you can recycle what they don’t finish, unlike most pelleted food. And Mazuri waterfowl food floats!

@hellost where are you located (general area, certainly not asking for an exact location by any means)? I'm sure we can help you find options for complete duck feeds, hopefully local to you. The feed that's linked is an amazing and wonderful feed that many use. I feed my ducks a different complete waterfowl feed that I'm able to get locally and it cost much less. As many have recommended, addressing the feed is an important issue. As one of the experts (Issac) has suggested, getting that poop tested is going to be the priority right now. It'd be a really good idea to call around to find out if there's any veterinary offices that will perform the fecal float and gram stain(with or without seeing the duck). I worry about the amount of time it will take to order things and then getting results. If you have to mail off the poop to be tested, hopefully getting her started on a complete fowl (or all flock) feed and keeping her separated from the drakes will help her until you get the results and figure out treatment if needed. Hopefully we can help with finding options for feed. I'm sure many of us would be happy to help you find something local, if that's possible. (I know that there are no local options for everyone.)
Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the best. She sure is a beautiful duck!

I might be a bit late here, but thank you all for your advice My duck's been recovering for the past two weeks. She's notoriously improved. Here are my duckies chilling out:

Take to a vet ASAP. it could be heavy metal poisoning or some other issue. One of my girls had very similar symptoms and we couldn't save her despite driving her 1.5 hours to a vet. I worry it maybe too late but you should try.
