    My introduction thread!

    Hi everyone, Im Lucy, and I don’t own any chickens! But I have 4 haki Campbell ducks. I am new to being a duck mum! It all started with an incubator and 6 duck eggs in summer 2020, of which only 1 egg turned out to be fertile, and out hatched my Daisy. We bonded straight away, and is it was...

    Heaving breathing duck that sleeps a lot, short neck and doesn’t lay eggs

    Just as another update to this thread, I booked Daisy in for an ultrasound, and the vet discovered it wasn’t a tumour! But something egg shaped! It is thought to be a soft shelled egg, hence him thinking it was a tumour, she had a couple of injections oxytocin and calcium to try help her push it...

    Heaving breathing duck that sleeps a lot, short neck and doesn’t lay eggs

    @KaleIAm I think I would like to do the same, she is still eating and drinking fine and waddling around when she’s not napping, so would prefer to give her pain relief until the time comes closer. Just moved house and starting building a big enclosure for her 😞 (and her friends)

Sorry to give you all bad news...

I will try and get her an apt at the vets, I just got used to her being different, but looking at old pictures I can see her belly never used to be this close to the floor either. And the other picture shows how she sleeps, like a dog...

    Heaving breathing duck that sleeps a lot, short neck and doesn’t lay eggs

    Hi, my female duck Daisy has always been special, we hatched her out ourselves (the only one of 6 eggs) and she was born with a short neck (this wasn’t noticed till we bought 2 more ducklings to keep her company), I’ve always noticed that she breathes very noticeably, like she’s run a marathon...
