Egg Bound Pekin
Seeking creative ideas or wisdom here…. I’m at my wits end trying to win the war over this egg bound duck. Pekin duck, been about two weeks now of being egg bound. We have her 90% better except we can’t get this darn egg out. Her swelling is down, her tummy feathers are growing back in. She’s...- DuckLadyOH

Calcium Gluconate for Ducks
Is this the correct liquid calcium gluconate to give to an egg bound duck? (1ml/day) It’s all my Tractor Supply had. Do I need to dilute it or just a straight 1ml? Thanks! Durvet Calcium Gluconate 23% (it’s labeled like it’s for cattle)- DuckLadyOH

Broody duck not laying
I've found a few threads similar but not on the specific issue. Roz, a 1 year old female Silver Appleyard, has recently become broody. She hangs out with/ nests with 2 cayuga. One male one female. Never had any issues. Both females share a nest for egg laying and have for months. Recently, Roz... -
Egg bound or broken heart? :(
Hi all, this is my lovely girl Perdita. Usually she is laying by this time in the spring, but we have had a couple exceptional circumstances that I’m afraid have impacted her; 1. We have switched back and forth from winter to spring over and over, with lots of rain and cold and general...- yukonbeck2020

Egg bound or egg broken inside?
I’m new to ducks. I got 2 pekins. One male and one female. Had them for a few months now. Yesterday all was good. I went to feed and both came running and quacking and she was bobbing her head as usual. No problems. This morning I go to the pen to feed and my girl Dixie is laying down bobbing... -
Does this duck look egg bound, or just injured?
Please see video! https://www.dropbox.com/s/ptph5ylepd3ln7j/IMG_5357.MOV?dl=0 She's limping along, and I think she hasn't laid an egg in 2 days - not sure if it's egg bound or stressed from being injured in general. (I have three ducks and they usually lay daily, I'm suspicious that the missing...- dpnation

Another sick duck? Avian flu?
Some of you may have read my recent post- we lost one of our khaki hens last week. She was egg bound, stopped eating, didn’t want to move around, tail bobbing. We did all the things were supposed to do (isolated her, warm soaks, calcium gluc, etc). She died after taking her to the vet and having... -
Sick duck! Help!
Yesterday my 1 year old khaki Campbell was not wanting to eat much and then I discovered she was egg bound. I gave her an epsom salt soak and within 30 min she laid one regular egg and one egg yolk only, and then had a soft shell hanging out of her. I gently tried to pull the soft shell out and... -

Sick Duck, Respiratory Distress, must wait all day for vet
We have a 6 month old Cayuga that since earlier this morning is breathing open-mouth and sitting down. She normally lays an egg every morning, but today I don't believe she did. I checked to see if she was obviously egg bound but there is no sign of a stuck egg. She is drinking water and very...- RebbyB80

Is my duck eggbound or sick?
Hi, I have a muscovy female that is about a year old now. She seems to have had problems walking a few times, but we always just thought it was because she lost strength from sitting on her nest 24/7. She's trying to make a nest now, but she made 7 eggs. 2 I found crushed by the pool, 1 kicked...- theycallmechickmagnet
