Shaws call duck incubation thread (hatch a wonderful(worthless to Ralphie) dux thread)

Never seen that with any of my broodies but they can be pretty nutty while brooding.

Daphne did another poo, this time right on the edge of her nest, and it stunk like putrid dead dux stewed in chicken manure for a week in the upper 90's.
As I tried to flick it away with a stick, she began EATING it! What the heck?!!! She was slurping it up and flicking it around. I nearly threw up, and I did bend over and gag it was so bad. Is this normal ducky behaviour for a broody duck to ' clean up after herself/ get rid of the evidence' ?????
Sorry if I am baffling and annoying you guys with my strange duck posts

omg I dont know but I near died laughing for reading this.

 

[Miss Lydia]

It was worse than when I tried to catch my wild, evil guinea in the chicken run and as I grabbed his ankle he turned into a flapping, screaming ball of poultry terror and thus sprayed muddy poop muck all over me and my face. Mud facial treatments ya'll, just another benefit of owning fowl

The nitrogen in chicken and dux poop does wonders for your skin by the way

Yuck sound nasty. LOL

I have had broody duck poop slung on me many times I now walk far behind them.

Wow. . I'm glad I have tidy ducks
They rarely ever poo in the nest boxes. . or on eggs. There is of course the muddy poo that gets on them from their feet. . but no real nasty stuff. They do that outside. As far as eating it.. . idk ducks will noodle in anything. Maybe she thought you brought her a treat
