8 year old tail pumping?

[Jenbirdee]

One of my eight-year-old white layer ducks looks like she is tail pumping and I don’t know if I should give her calcium or not because she’s so old I’m attaching a video because to me the pumping seems mild. I don’t know if it’s really an issue or not.

It looks like the WH laying there with her is doing it too. It won't hurt her to have a ml of Cal glu if you want to give her some.

ok thanks i just wasnt sure because of her age I guess it’s like they’re going through menopause or something.. poor sweeties. and speaking of the calcium gluconate - the bottle I have is one year old and is not expired yet but I’ve been using a needle on my syringe to get the medicine out so I don’t ever open the bottle still I’m not 100%sure if it’s still potent.? I guess I’ll add a new one to my list for my next trip to TSC. Which, by the way, is very dangerous place to go this time of year… peep peep peeeeep

It should be fine. I've used expired meds it usually means they have lost a little potency.
