What's the scoop on Duck POOP!?

[Amiga]

Bright green poop, I read the other day, indicates the liver is stressed.

I gave my weak duckling some charcoal and water as you stated. Would food cause a distressed liver??
I get worried when he lays his head to the side. So weak. I just ate a few ants.

Toxic foods can cause liver distress, and so can antibiotics.

Can someone tell me if this is normal? My two Pekin ducks keep pooping this mush. They are about 9 weeks old. Otherwise, they seem healthy, active and happy. Should I be worried?

Thank you!

Sorry, I haven't been this focused on poop since my kids were babies! Lol! I am new to ducks but am totally in love. Just wanna be a good duck owner!

Ps...my ducks have found a shady spot on our back patio and are pooping everywhere!!! It's awful; I hate spraying the patio off constantly but it's so brutally hot and I bet the cool concrete feels good. My husband is in process of making a nice big run in the shade. Anyway, that's why I'm seeing all this mush poop.

That's a little too green. What are they eating?

Now I'm scared!!!
Everyday I chop up Kale and Baby Romaine or whatever greens I have. Today I chopped up 1 strawberry in it. They eat a non-medicated 18% crumble and I'm mixing in a 16% pellet, that makes up about a quarter of the mix. I sprinkle on Brewers yeast and swirl it together. I give them some oats here and there too. They forage for the rest...A yard full of clover, bugs and dandelion, etc.

Here's one of my poopers hiding under my back deck...time to get the hose again.

How much green is too much?!

Bump...is it too green?
