    Post Egg Bind Constipation?

    Hello! One of my bantams was egg bound yesterday. We got the egg out but today she was acting the same. I thought it was another egg bind so I gave her a hot bath but she didn’t lay, however she didn’t poop quite a bit. Is it possible she was just constipated? What should I do now?

    post egg binding recovery expectations

    Dear All, Yesterday we realized that Harriet, a ~3 year old Cochin that we recently inherited, was egg bound when she went 2-3 days without an egg (very unusual) and that she was in and out of the nesting box, sitting for 30-90 minutes at a time with no egg (also very unusual). My wife managed...

    So, aside from my disabled duck Gollum, all of my other ducks were acting completely normal until yesterday when I saw my khaki panting.
