Duckling poop with absence of urates

[Miss Lydia]

Stepping back to poop is very normal most ducklings do it.
I think you might want to change the diet though it doesn't sound like the right food for ducklings. Can you tell us what all is in the food your feeding. Grit is something you will want too since they don't have teeth to chew with they use grit to process their feed and the only time you wouldn't need to offer grit is if you were feeding nothing but starter feed for poultry.

That feed is not for ducklings no way they can digest that at a young age. They need a starter /grower or an all flock feed in crumbles. That is not normal poop. Where in the world are you? Do you have feed stores?

Hi . It wasn't given to me in a proper sealed bag but in a transparent shopping bag. You can see the feed below. I m really concerned about the ingredients as they won't tell me. And they were like it has all the ingredients that ducks eat. Tbh they were weird asf

That's not duckling feed. Can you get chick feed or duck feed where you are?

I'm not sure about the ingredients in it. I'm from India. Here are local feed stores but I feel like the people selling these don't really know which feed is best for them. Maybe they only want to make money . That's shitty
I even tried asking that do I have to change their feed as they grow? And after how many weeks
And he was like you can feed them bread
And we all know that we can't give them bread

Many people who work in feed stores haven't the slightest idea what to feed ducks or any poultry most of the time. Here in the US too. . How old is your ducklings?

and if you feed them anything else besdies their crumble they will need this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BVWNZNY...?aaxitk=5e451ef1b0406270537197921b5c7ada&th=1
You put this in a separate container from the feed and they use it as they need it. They know instinctively to use it. Always make sure they have water when eating that is very important and a container that they can dunk their heads into to clean out their noses and eyes.
Here is more info hopefully to help you enjoy your ducklings.

Until you get the right feed can you grind up that food you showed us your going to have to feed them something till you get proper feed for them. And your right bread is not good for them.
