Duckling poop with absence of urates

[Sanaif]

Hi there. I am raising 3 ducklings. And they are about 8 to 10 days old. I am really anxious on what if I do something wrong while raising them. I keep checking them after every 5 minutes.... Nvm let's get to the question
I don't think my duckling poop is normal
I am giving him feed that I got from a shop where I got these ducklings
The shop owner didn't seem to know much about them
So please tell me what should I give them on daily basis
Rn it's just gritty feed and the poop is 80 percent exactly as it was given
Like I feel like most of the feed comes out as it is and not digested
Someone help me on this
And see the poop


Also I have another question
One of my yellow duck her bottom part from where she drops feaces, it's brown
Like dark brown
It looks very uncommon or maybe it's just me overthinking
And he keeps scratching it
He scratches it too much
I'm not sure if it's something to be concerned about

Can you post a picture of the feed bag? and tell us what the ingredients are. @Sanaif

Yes, please take a picture of the feed. This does not look normal.

Thankfully I woke up to see literally no signs of that brown part
I was amazed myself when I went to the brooder fully equipped with q tips warm water and towel and when I checked it was all yellow.
But the thing is he keeps scratching it and when he poops he steps back and then poops

Hi this is the feed I'm currently using.

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

Can you guys tell me if this poop looks normal. I googled and found out that they should have white part in their poop. But I can't see any in my ducklings dropping

 

[Sanaif]

And please can you guys recommend me a proper diet for the ducklings
