Duck has a problem!

An egg is here:

But an egg that needs to be laid is not in that part of the belly, it's up high in the pelvic girdle.

I will defer to you on this as I've only dealt with it in chickens and not my ducks. I believe with chickens if they are truly egg-bound and it is not another reproductive issue, the egg is usually quite near the exit. I will share the link anyway in case there is some useful info in there that could help.

So would you be able to feel it digitally if it's that far up? Seems like I could do damage to the vent? It was so small!

Your finger is no where as big as a egg. It won’t hurt her.

Good Point! So say I do this. KY won't hurt them I'm thinking right? I feel an egg. Now what?

Hopefully the cal glu will help her move the egg down so she can pass it.

You can also place her in a dog crate put a towel around a heating pad then put it on lowest setting and let her sleep on it over night. Plus warm soaks.

Read through the link I sent you. It says what you can try next... a warm bath, some calcium, and some lubrication around the vent and the egg if possible.

If the egg didn't pass as it should and is internally laid she can't expel it herself..
