    Help, is this a stuck egg?

    This is one of our magpie hens. We have been doing an Epsom salt warm bath every day for the last week. Also we have been trying to get olive oil in the vent. Any help/suggestions are appreciated. Still new to having ducks and we can't seem to find much info on this.]
