    Help!! Egg bound, or what? She's in Pain.

    Thank you. It's been about a month since she's laid an egg. I figured from the heat. She is not lethargic. She's about 4 years old. I'll get a picture and post it.

    Our barred Rock has a swollen back end and is losing all her feathers. Some poop there that smells. I put some coconut oil on her vent. What can I do next? Parasites?

    Lavender Cochin Bantams

    They have the run of our barn; it's big alot of space. Since it's so large it's not kept really clean, but I add straw in the stalls.

    I did I did read about a bacteria/parasite, but I figure there would have been an ill period where it's apparent no? She was neck extended and feet behind like some people noted in threads.

    thank you. It was odd; my daughter said the duck was fine this morning, moving about and acting normal and then she just died. Was running around outside normal just recently.
