I thought my hen might be eggbound because she seems to be disinterested in food, has not laid an egg today (she's one of our regular layers), is lackluster, and her abdomen seems swollen. Her abdomen is not hard, as I would expect it to be from what I have read if she were eggbound, so I'm not...

She's out, but she's definitely a special-needs duck. She's peeping loudly now, but her cloaca is pooched out and might be clogged. She has a club foot on one side that we would like to splint, but the toes are so twisted and curled that it's hard to get them straight enough to do so. We are...
