HELP! Welshie pooping yolk and crushed shells

[DisneyDuckies]

Ive tried looking this up online and can not find anything. What is wrong with her and how do I treat it?

Sounds like an egg broke inside her. I think this can happen when a duck is egg bound. It could also be egg periotisis (hope I spelled that right). I'm afraid I can't offer any suggestions as I'm not that experienced but maybe this with give you a starting point to find more information. I'm sure others will offer more suggestions. I hope you can help your duck and she gets better. Good luck.

I think a vet will have to check and make sure she has passed all of the egg if not infection can result and it won't end well. You may want to start her on antibiotics also put her in a tub of nice warm water let her float for a while maybe she'll finish passing it all. But for this I'd say a vet is your best bet.

We don't have a vet open until Monday! She has been laying eggs for the past few days. She started pooping what looked like egg whites about a week ago.

How is she acting? might want to start her on some antibiotics which you can get at feed stores TSC, just to be on the safe side. How much egg shell came out alot a little I have had chickens lay collasped eggs but all the stuuff came out with the shell. But I have never had one pass egg shells to me that sends up a red flag. @Amiga maybe able to help more here. and @casportpony maybe able to help with what med would be best to use. So she has just started laying? how old is she? what feed do you use and do you offer oyster shell?

She is acting fine. She just started laying, shes 24wks old. There were 2 eggs in the coop again. I just held her, her belly doesnt seem swollen or anything. It was probably 5 or 6 egg pieces, a little smaller than a pea.

I feed her all flock feed but we just ran out so I was going to switch to layer feed. Between our 3 ducks, they only eat about a cup of food a day, they free range in the backyard. Some days the dogs finish off the cup of food.

How much should I give her? Will there be instructions?

2 eggs in the coop again today after she laid the crushed eggs?Well you choice you can just let it go and hope for the best or start her on an antibiotic just in case, main thing is if she has anything left inside this is what can cause infection. Doesn't sound like all the shell passed

All flock is fine to use as long as they have oyster shell or some other source of calcium which helps to harden the shell before they lay it.
