Bad news. She’s not able to pass the eggs on her own :hit I’ve extracted three broken eggs from her and I know that there are more now. I wonder if the original burst egg cut an opening between her digestive tract and her oviduct. This has made it impossible, even with calcium supplements, for...

I checked her again after her soak. Turns out the egg I felt was in her shell factory still. It’s a hard egg and I’m really hoping she passes it. Time will tell

Goldie was having some trouble again. Her feathers were all wet around her vent starting a couple days ago. I gave her a soak yesterday and discovered a soft shell egg inside her, not quite to the vent. I administered a calcium citrate tablet right down her throat (avoiding the glottis) and put...

Update: Goldie has been setting her nest for about 2.5 weeks now. Her feathers have grown in again really nicely and she seems to be in great health overall. She had been looking skinny and not very fluffy for a long time, but now looks really well. Her vent is nice and tight, has no signs of...

It took about 2.5 weeks. I think it would have been shorter if I was able to set her up in a smaller space and had started with more light throughout the day. As it is though, it finally worked out. The article I read on Tyrant Farms said 5-7 days, but they had her in a pet crate in the house...

Update: Goldie is officially broody. Up until this point she was producing 4 eggs every 4 days. She had 2 eggs Monday which I left and I only extracted 2 eggs today (Wednesday). YAY!!! So she went 2 days without producing eggs. Her vent is also much cleaner and tighter. I think the healing has...

She’s still producing about one egg per day. I was checking and treating her daily until I decided to let her go broody, so I’m now checking every 4 days. I have been giving her calcium over her food. She has been rejecting treats since the start of this, so I’ve wanted to get the liquid form...

Here she is on the nest

Update: We struggled for a while to get things set up so I can disturb Goldie as little and possible for her to go broody. We’ve been mostly hands off with our ducks, so they’re very particular about their space. I’ve got her in the duck house with a small pen area, I’ll add a picture. Before...

I appreciate your thoughts. I’ve been feeding her crushed calcium in her food for the last two days. I was only giving her calcium when I treated her for egg binding in hopes of her passing the eggs on her own. I plan to give it to her twice daily for the next few days. As far as the egg...

She didn’t give her a calcium shot. I’ll be sure to ask about that. I’ve been giving her crushed human calcium in her food and offering her oyster shells (which she hates and won’t eat). Whenever we use up eggs, I make sure to give her shells after we dry them out in the toaster. She didn’t go...

I’m sharing my story in hopes that it will help someone else if they have something similar happen. I don’t know the ending yet, but I have some things that I’ve learned along the way that I wish I’d known early on. Our Khaki Campbell, Goldie started having trouble a little over a month ago...
