Hi! Has anyone here gotten the implant to stop your duck from laying after egg issues? Did the implant work for your duck? How long did it stop her from laying (one season, two)? Any info or experience with this would be much appreciated!
A little more info: My girl Pepper here was just eggbound for the second time in a month, so she is booked for an appointment on Wednesday to get the implant. She should be finished laying for the season now since she always stops end of June/July each year, but I don't want to risk another emergency vet visit. She had become eggbound last month as well, but did end up laying it herself before the vet visit. X-rays showed no other eggs in her at that time, so we assumed she was done for the year and opted to do the implant before she starts to lay next April. BUT, then she surprised us by starting to lay again a couple weeks later and ended up eggbound this past Tuesday. What a mess!
Anyway, looking for others' experiences with the chip and any advice you might have. Thanks! ^-^
