This is the 2nd day my female welsh harlequin duck is having a wing issue. Any information is helpful. Thanks.
I am thinking the same possibly egg bound. This can be life threatening so I hope you took @RavynFallen suggestions.I don't believe her wings are an issue... has she laid an egg in the last 2 days? It looks like she may be eggbound to me... you can gently palpate her abdomen and feel for an egg...
Bring her in for a nice warm bath... if she is eggbound you need to give her some extra calcium... calcium gluconate works best, but even some crushed Tums would work... might need to oil her vent a bit too, to help her ease the egg out...

Any other ideas or tips, please?
Since she laid can you tell a difference in how she is walking and holding herself?She laid an egg everyday. I gave her a warm bath this morning, hopefully it will help. The food I feed her has calcium in it and I have a bag of oyster shell crumble I also give her. I will give her a crushed-up Tums when I get back home. Thank you.
I'd think if she was egg bound she'd be dead by now if she hadn't laid it. Something possibly in the spray? are the rest of the ducks in there too? Poultry are very sensitive to chemicals. What about eating something toxic ?She is still having the same symptoms. We haven't had an issue until now. The only thing I can think we have been doing different for the past couple months is putting her in a chicken house at night. My father sprayed flex seal on the trays to seal around the edges. I spray the trays down everyday. When I get home I'll check the ingredients. My father thought she was eating to much dirt...mud..but I dont think thats it. Someone suggested she could have a bacterial infection.
Please update when you find out what is going on.Yes, I will in the morning.
