2 Cayuga Girls & 1 Cayuga Drake

View attachment 1945281 In the enclosure she kept laying down but she’s been crouching ever since we brought her in. No idea if any of this is helpful or not but here’s a pic of her:

She is rather hunched up, isn't she? If she is eggbound, the warmth will help.

 

[Miss Lydia]

If egg bound you can let her soak in nice warm water. This can help them relax and help pass an egg. Plus there is calcium gluconate TSC this is what the vets give for being egg bound 1 ml. But bringing her in is good this way you can see a lot whether she’s laying if she is eating and now you know she is thin so something is def wrong.

Is this a watery poop?
It may just be telling us that she is drinking more than she is eating at present. Now that she is standing, she may also eat more.
Did you feel her crop? That's in front of her, and its appearance when full has been described as "foodboob". You may find comparing with your other ducks helpful. You will be able to see whether she is eating now, and ideally her crop will be full by night and empty in the morning.

Yes, since we brought her inside the house, everything has been really watery.

She ate some pellets right away which is something she wouldn’t do outside. Since then she’s pretty much been sipping water. Her crop appears to be full or at least it looks full although it isn’t as if she’s eaten a ton of food.

Definitely hunched up.

We don’t have a Tractor Supply. Is there an alternative? I can check with the stores we have here.
So then she looks thin too you?

Her crop didn’t feel hard but it has definitely gotten bigger since we brought her in. She has also made some “Ha!” sounds which is something new but no clue if it means anything or not.

 

[Kiwibird]

Are these "ha" sounds associated with any particular postures or movements?

 

[Miss Lydia]

No she doesn’t look thin to me but putting you hands on her should def give you a clue. We need @casportpony here to look at the poop pic she’s our poop expert. Try other feed stores it’s what they give cattle when they have milk fever I believe. So it will most likely be in the cattle section

A feed store two hours from us has it so we’re on our way to get some. Should I follow the directions once we have it?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Be sure you have a ml syringe no needle so you can give it to her. Even if she isn’t egg bound it won’t hurt her.
