She laid one egg the next day or so but none since. She sat a couple times in the box but then stopped. I took the 3 eggs out of her box and put them in the Hooded Merganser box because she started sitting. The Wood duck still has more eggs in her other than that she seems fine. You can see...
I'm in CT and my Hooded and Wood duck are the only ones laying. The Mandarin and Ring teal should be next it's my first year with them. My Cinnamons and Green wings won't be until June and July.
She passed an egg later in the day. She also ate a little and seemed much better so we put her outside her mate has been calling and searching for her all day. Here she is 12 hours later.
I remember you talking about that. On my Wild waterfowl forum I got some advise to put her in a box under a heat light which I was going to do anyway. I swam her in a warm tub for 10 minutes then put her in a box with a heat light. and water with some vitamin B Niacin.
While going out in the aviary this morning I found my hen Wood duck laying on the ground, she had her wings partly open and couldn't stand. I think she is egg bound I'm doing what I can and was suggested by another knowledgeable breeder and am hoping she'll make it.
