Black specs (not red blood spots) on yolk

[aart]

@aart ever seen anything like I posted?

I remember you posting it before...
....not sure where or if there was any resolution as to what it was.
Did you start a thread about it, or was it stuck into another thread?

Gosh I don’t remember even putting it on lol I was just wondering if you’d ever seen anything like it. No one I showed had any idea.

I saw it too. I don't remember where it was either. Probably on an "weird egg" thread. I remember seeing someone say it looks like a liver. It does!

 

[Miss Lydia]

It was me that said that. It really did look like liver when cut open.

Parasitic worms are not like earth worms, they live in the digestive tract, and usually can't be seen with the naked eye. A vet can do a fecal float and tell you if she has worms. You could just deworm and see if it goes away but the chemicals are bad for you and you cant eat the eggs for some time after dosing.

When I mentioned the earthworm, it was in reference too the article I read saying the earthworms carry the particular kind of worm that live in the ducks digestive tract. I plan on deworming her just to be sure but I was hoping someone had some information so I didn’t have to. I didn’t want to subject them to those chemicals if I didn’t have to.

Earth worms do carry parasites.

This is what the yolk looks like with a shell that has a grey ting to it

I believe I have one lady that keeps laying them.

Maybe.
Don't know ducks.
But certainly need some good pics to gander a guess.
Highly unlikely its worms.

An egg is an egg. I thought you might know?
