What brand of food and how many meal worms a day are they getting?

they eat the purina duck food pellets, and they probably get about 1/4 of mealworms sprinkled over top

Hmm. Well I was thinking they could be passing grit or something not fully digested, but that is clearly not happening. Ducks poops can be rather diverse depending on what they recently ate.

@Miss Lydia and @HollowOfWisps does this look normal to you.

So, we figured it out. The ducks were inside today because they showed signs of wet feather. I gave them a bath in dawn soap and dried them off inside. However, we kept them inside today because it’s currently 105 in Arizona, and without their pool they overheat, and since they need to re-oil their feathers they can’t stay in water. Anyway, we used cardboard to block them off from areas of the room, and they used their water to get it wet enough to eat it

Of course they did
Ducks are worse then children lol
Glad you got it figured out
Do you have grit you can give them to help digest this ?

Be sure to sit the grit bowl close to their feed but not mixed into it. They will eat it as needed.
Boy they can sure make ya scratch your head at times. lol

Don't wash with dawn. It takes all the oil off and actually causes wet feather. Just clean water and let them wash themselves.
