Answer 1

It might not be diarrhea.  Young birds & ducks have very runny poo that might seem to us as Diarrhea, but it's not.  It usually is just the runny, wet food we feed them when they are young that causes that.

But to be sure- make sure he has enough water available, because birds having diahrrea can be fatal. They tend to dehydrate quickly.

Answer 2

Cabbage gives them diarrhea (sp)!! This is what happens to my chicks!

I don't know about ducklings but chicks sometimes get diarrhea, this is normal, it just clears out their digestive system. Unless you don't find even one normal p**p, there's no need to worry. If not, go to a vet!!

your duckie is cute
