    Swollen abdomen in duck-ideas?

    I think fluid or hernia -- I don't think she is egg bound because this has happened on and off...I have four laying ducks so I have a hard time keeping track of who is laying when. I wish there was a better way...Thank you for your help!

    Call duck egg bound??

    I have 14 call ducks, male and female. Yesterday, I noticed the smallest of my females was a little fluffed up and acting abnormally. I noticed that something appeared strange with her vent. It was kind of swollen and there were no feathers around it. She hasn't laid an egg since and her...

    New Call Ducks - Advice please!

    Thank you so much @happy duck! I'll try snap some more photos! She hasn't laid for a few days so I'm keeping an eye on her - I'm scared she's egg-bound. I really do over analyse everything and worry too much to be fair. I moved the eggs to the house two nights ago but she just keeps pooping on...

    HELP PLEASE! All the bad things at once...EGG BINDING

    So, aside from my disabled duck Gollum, all of my other ducks were acting completely normal until yesterday when I saw my khaki panting.

    New Call Ducks - Advice please!

    I would try to get a filter on the pond. Also renaming is fairly easy. Up by the thread name there should be a place that edit or something like that. It should give you the option to rename it.

    Pasty Butt? Or something worse?

    Thank you all so much for the info!!! Good news: after a warm bath, I was able to get pretty much all the caked-on poop and dirty feathers off. She was so calm through the whole thing!! Her skin and vent area looked surprisingly pink, clean, and healthy considering how bad the surrounding...

    Solitary confinement or keeping a molting duck out of the rain/wind?

    They can still poop while the egg is in the shell gland. Good you're keeping an eye on her, clearly she's not feeling well, When possibly egg bound, one of the things my vet has me do is give fluids, so it's good she's drinking. You're welcome! :hugs :highfive::yesss::ya:wee:celebrate...

    Vet Visit! New Food?

    Ya' know, I was thinking, I was in that room a long time before she came in. I wonder how much she was "refreshing" or looking up online before she came in. I did see the other links as well.
