Thanks. I put some chopped up beef liver out there yesterday. They all went crazy for it, including sick chicken. Shes about the same, a little more mobile. She got herself up on the shelf last night in the coup. I think she's just getting better at using her wings to lift herself when she needs...

I'm really hoping it's not mareks. But I don't think it is considering she has gotten a little better with movement and her head and neck have stayed good the entire time. Could be internal laying I suppose. What kind of vitamin electrolyte mix should I buy?

I'm pretty stumped. I honestly thought she would be dead by now or considerably better. Its been 12 days since I noticed she wasn't coming out of the coup with the other chickens. She couldn't walk or stand and was a bit floppy just sitting there. I brought her inside and inspected her. No...

I had a couple muscovys for 3-4 months. I wanted to love them because they were quiet but I found their eggs to taste weird. I had Khaki campbells and Golden 300 birds as well as the time and didn't think their eggs were weird. They were already laying when I got them,a bout 19 months old, and...

She died overnight. I didn't think she was that close or I would have just put her out of her misery. Poor girl, she is in peace now.

She is drinking but I didn't notice her eating today. She did eat yesterday though. I just put some warmed coconut oil in there. She didn't seem to mind so maybe it felt good. I tried to get it on the sides of the egg. Tomorrow morning I will bring her in for a longer time in the steamy...

vet is not an option money wise. We will just humanely end her life if there are no more options and if she doesn't act like she will recover on her own. I can feel the hard egg pretty close to the vent, but it's kind of lodged weird on the right side.with a lubed gloved finger. I've been just...

She got egg bound again :(. And it's been 72 hours of being on calcium again. She's definitely in pain, she does not like her abdomen touched. Getting lots of warm baths. It seems a lot worse than last time. She's not moving well and kind of gives up on keeping up with the other ducks. Not much...

I used the liquid calcium from the feed store you recommended. Yes, I can put her in a dark room and such. But that's what I already tried 18month-2yrs ago when this first showed up. I've tried getting it to heal when she is taking natural breaks from laying too. Its continued to stay...

She finally let go of the egg during the night. And it only had a little blood on it. The eggs she laid last week had a lot more blood. It took 3 administrations of the calcium. Yes, she definitely is still prolapsed. Its pretty bad and has been for a long time. Should I keep treating her...

Soaking, sprouting, or fermenting are ways to break down phytic acid. http://www.weedemandreap.com/guide-soaking-sprouting-grains/

At what point should I try something more invasive if this doesn't work?

Okay, thanks! I really appreciate the help.

She still poops, its verrry liquid runny what comes out though. She's also eating and drinking and moving around with the rest of the ducks. I haven't seen her trying to get the egg out today but I can still feel it.

Would it be better to administer SQ? I have given lots of dogs and cats vaccines, but never a bird.

I don't. What does the calcium do? I will check my local CAL Ranch and IFA today. She still hasn't passed the egg.

I've noticed they leave carrots and strawberries alone (berries too even though they love tomatoes). They also seem to leave alone aromatic things like onions and garlic. Thats what I intend to plant in the areas they get to... onions, carrots, and garlic :). I had a spaghetti squash in their...

Hi all, its been a while! I have a Khaki that has had a prolapse vent for nearly two years now. I tried everything short of taking her to a vet when it first showed up. I put her back with the other ducks and decided I would let her be and deal with additional probelms as they came. I figured...

My friend loves her GP! She doesn't have poultry but has horses. Let me tell you, those horses BELONG to that GP! lol. She sleeps in the hyper stallion's stall most days and it keeps him calm. When the foals are born every year, she is enamored by them. Sounds good so far! You are good to keep...
