Please can someone help my or give me any advice. I bought a new little girl duck for my flock she is 1 year old, she was egg bound with her first egg about 2 weeks ago and managed to help her and thankfully she was fine afterwards and back to normal. This morning I noticed her walking a bit funny, so I took her inside to examine her. There was another egg which I could she in the vent only when she was pushing so I followed all of the advice I had already read on here but when I examined her again I felt another egg behind it. After spending most of the day repeating the advice I took her to the vet. The vet managed to get the eggs out and she is now resting inside with painkillers and antibiotics to be taken daily. The vet told me her eggs were to big and she can't lay them and suggested putting her down as it could happen again. I am devastated as my feathered friends are my babies and I will do anything for them. Please can someone help. They are fed layers pellets and mixed brain along with veggies and grit and I have given them calcium tablets crushed in water.
