    Still egg bound?

    Why would a duck still act egg bound after passing a soft shell egg? My Rouen hen has been passing 1-2 soft shell eggs a week since spring started and I’m not sure why.

    Duckling Gagging - Possible Sour Crop?

    Hello everyone, I have four ducklings, two Pekins and two Rouens, all around 4-5 weeks old. Yesterday I noticed one of my Rouen ducklings appeared to have an extended crop. I'm new to ducks so I didn't know if this was normal or not. I did some researching on here and it seems like it could be...
