Very new to raising duck

[Sharimc]

I am no poop expert but I know someone who is @casportpony. What is the name of the feed your using?

I was given it by the rescue. I know she feeds all ducklings and goslings that come in with it

If chick starter then it needs to be supplemented if starter for water fowl then it doesn't.

1. What color should his poop be?
It was that danish color from his starter feed mash and is somewhat whit now. Is that normal?

His poop looks great! Color and consistency of all pictures look to be quite normal.

2. He scratches a lot and tips over us this normal?

How much is a lot?

4. I just switched his small water bowl (which is constantly empty) with a gravity water feeder(small enough that he won’t submerge himself in) is this ok?

Can you post a picture of it?

I know I may sound ignorant or paranoid but again this is the first time I have ever raised any domestic bird. Any advice will be welcomed and appreciated

You don't sound ignorant or paranoid to me.

View attachment 1776203 View attachment 1776204 He is on starter feed. He’s in a plastic tub in a heated room and a heat pad under the towel. I just got a gravity water feeder. I will try and post pics. He’s about a week old and he is a domestic Mallard

How do you know it's a domestic Mallard?

My Runner ducklings when trying to scratch will fall over too kinda uncoordinated at that age.
