White duck poop

Haven't seen any mating as of yet. Just the burp and run behavior.

LOL well shouldn't be much longer an egg or actual mating should tell the tale.

I think I figured out the white poop. I have been giving the ducks a handful of dried insects every day. That's when the white poo started. I didn't even think of that as a change in diet. It just occurred to me as I opened up my package of 10 lbs of dried soldier fly larvae. They are mostly protein. Urates are a byproduct of protein.the white part of their poo is the urates. This is why I see the completely white poo during the day and normal poop in their house where they are at night. Haha! I've never put so much thought into poop before and I was a registered nurse for 15 years.

Watching poop from you flock is much more important. lol I am a poop watcher too. Glad you finally found the reason.

Thank you for posting this I know it’s older but a very important point that could save a cost to the vet
I just had this issues with my drake and even made a visit to the vet. They couldn’t find anything wrong with him
I have been worried sick it’s been 5 days now.
I also about 5 days ago started Giving him dried meal worms as it’s winter abd they can’t find bugs at this time. I have now pulled the treats and will continue to monitor to see if this resolved the issue.
