Weak and sluggish almost 4 week old duckling

Do you have a food scale you can weigh the duckling on? Can you post a picture of its poop?

We do have a food scale. I don't know which duckling was the one that pooed, but these are the different types I saw.

Start weighing all ducklings at the same time every morning. The one that is sick, weigh it tonight too. If possible, weigh in grams.

We need to see a picture of the sick one's poop.

I weighed both of them today, the sick one was 1392 grams and the other one was 1934 grams, I will weigh them both again tomorrow. I decided to separate my ducklings but had one in a clear container for them to look at each other. As much as I wanted to capture a picture while they were sitting on the towel, the duck would take too long to poop. However it eventually did, but in an awkward corner. If this picture isn't clear, I can wait until they poop again.

Another picture would be better, the food looks undigested which concerns me. @casportpony ?

What's their weight this morning? The sick one's poop is not normal, I suspect it might have a bacterial infection. Can you call around and see if you can find an avian or exotic vet that will look at him? If not, I think you might need to buy some antibiotics.

This morning, the duck was 1436 grams. The poop was covered in wood chips, so I tried to spread it out. I will try to contact an avian vet, but I really don't think I can call in for a visit.

Updated edit: I got a better picture of it’s poop. It definitely doesn’t look right.

Found something today, the sick duck’s feather’s roots (No idea what they’re called) are green. This wasn’t present on the other duck.
