And look for an extra duck egg! 💖
I misunderstood and thought the other duck abdomens you felt were already laying. Laying girls definitely have a different feel to them than non laying girls.
I also don't want to discourage you from going in if she needs it. Today my duck has a recheck...
I still think the photo looks like my duck when she's about to lay an egg. While my other duck who lays has much smoother abdominal inflammation when she's about to lay. One of my ducks had an abdominal ultrasound a few months ago and the vets said she had a normal amount of abdominal fluid...
Oh, maybe that changes my answer then. I'm really bad at feeling the difference, but my vet can tell immediately. When my duck had ascites my vet drained it weekly using an ultrasound to guide her. In between drainings they didn't have me do anything at home even when I asked.
I think she looks like a normal reproductively active duck. You may have another layer soon. Since she isn't showing symptoms I wouldn't be concerned.
The abdominal inflammation can vary in your ducks, and still be normal.
