Egg bound? Graphic Pics

TSC carries it as well as most any feed store that carries poultry feed. You can also feed crushed egg shell. People say that it isn't as good a source of calcium but it'll work in a pinch.
 
Tractor Supply carries a small black two sided feeder that I attach to a wall for both grit and oyster shell. I always keep it available for my chickens. Good to know that the ducks need it as well. Just starting into the ducks. :-)
 
Well I visited my local Co-op store and got me a bag of crushed oyster shells. I can't beleive they can eat that!! Anyway, I put about a cup full next to the water dish and my female began to nibble on them right away, as if instinctively. Good girl!!!
 
Isn't egg-binding when a shelled egg is stuck and can't be passed? Ducks lay daily so I would expect to see a lot of eggs ready to go in various stages of completion inside a hen.
