So, aside from my disabled duck Gollum, all of my other ducks were acting completely normal until yesterday when I saw my khaki panting. Today she is acting normally, but her belly is making really loud noises and I found GREEN poop in the run today. I am guessing it's from her. One of my rouens is a bit sluggish (laying down more) but otherwise nothing seems off. Two of the ducks have what I think is the start of bumblefoot. Gollum now has foamy eye, and my black swedish is EGG BOUND. I feel like all the bad things that could ever go wrong with ducks are happening now and I am so overwhelmed. First and foremost is my swedish. She needs help. The past 3 days we have only gotten 5 out of our normal 6 or 7 eggs but I figured maybe one just took a break. Now I'm wondering if I have another who is egg bound too...Here's the thing...
MY S.O fed ducks this morning as I had to leave early for work. He noted a yolk color on one of the eggs. I looked in there and I see shell fragments and egg white but not enough to be a whole egg. I have been outside massaging her belly, and she did lay one egg and also laid a soft shell with no contents, and some rubbery white stuff came out...At this point I understand that an egg has broken inside her and I don't know where to go from here. On my way home I bought some Tylin 50 for Gollum (for possible respiratory issues) but that's all the feed store had. Can I give this to my swedish to prevent infection? I also believe she has another egg in there. I am so beside myself as to how such spoiled ducks could be so sick and I just want to cry.
