    Help.. I think I have an Egg Eater.....

    I cured ours by adding a packet of vinegar to their drinking water. It was the best advice I've ever gotten :) you know it works when the water needs refilled and the pecking if eggs starts again. Doesn't harm your chickens, (or eggs!) and all I've heard for why it works is a deficiency...

The duck is out both of the shell and membrane half way before she moved (Oh my!, she's alive!!!), so the cloth will help alot. I'm guessing for it to be damp may be the way to go...but just barely, as she's...
