    Rouen getting ready to lay 1st egg, when do I panic?

    I can feel it in her fat pouch when I stroke her belly. When I check her I just open her vent like I would when sexing a duckling?

    Requirements for a Ducky backyard?

    I would say, lots of cover, lots of shade & lots of water buckets. Be prepared to change at least once (preferably twice for drinking water) a day. Their swim pools I'll let go for a few days. And a scrub brush for all the algae!

    Struggling, head-pecked baby chick

    Keep it clean and keep her warm and inside til she completely heals. If you send her out with any blood to the coop she's dead.
