Buff duck can't walk

[Kevin565]

Passing the egg took most of her energy right now but i bet she'll be walking very soon.

So happy to hear she passed the egg, and i think olive oil would have worked as well. But at least you didn't have to use it.

She's back to normal today. I'm so glad she did it on her own. Thanks again for all the help!

Oh good Glad to hear shes doing better! I bet shes just tired, Im sure she'll get back on her feet soon.

This is great news!

Update: She is almost back to normal except that she has not laid since Saturday's tub egg. Is it typical that after being egg bound, ducks may take a few days off? Until now, she hasn't missed a day since she started laying a few weeks ago. Thanks!

Did you keep her inside for awhile or a dark place? This would have thrown off her laying cycle.

She was inside for maybe 3 hours and the rooms she was in had a lot of light. She was back outside at about 4:00.
