smelly dark duck poop

[Hooperdooper]

My pekin will poop normally but also will poop a dark wet smelly poop. Is this normal? Is it the food she eats? Or is there something wrong? Its not every time so I don't think its diarea but how do you know? Sometimes they get into the dry dog food and I don't know if that causes it or not.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Yes, this is normal Cecal poop is sticky, smelly and a bit oily. They poop these types of poops 4 or so times a day.

We're glad to have you.

Yes, an occasional smelly cecal dropping is normal. About every 10 droppings, a chicken produces one from the ceca. I suspect that this is the same for ducks.
