    Laying eggs

    Need Help/Answers for my ❤️ (Duck) Please!!!

    Are you providing any calcium supplement? The behavior you describe sounds like a duck being egg bound, which can also sometimes effect their ability to walk as well. I would give it 1ml of calcium gluconate, which you can get at TSC. Soaking in a luke warm bath for at least 30 minutes...

    My Pekin has similar problems. She won't eat oyster shells. I offer layer feed on the side. I would only offer it in the morning and watch her eat it when I had young ducks too. She eventually learned it was her special food and come running for it. A lot of my laying females really enjoy having...
