Is this normal?

[CrazyCrttr75]

I have a Khaki Campbell, Annabelle, and her neck looks wonky to me. She is eating, drinking and pooping. She is laying an egg a day. Can ducks get impacted crops like chickens? Here are a couple of quick videos that I just took of her walking around so you can see it. They are on Purina Flock Raiser with oyster shell on the side. My other ducks don't look like that. Any suggestions on what I could/should do, if anything. Thx!

Is her neck like that all the time even when you first let her out in the morning before breakfast?

I'm not sure. Normally my husband let's them out in the morning and then I check on them often throughout the day.

Is she eating and drinking and pooping normally. I’d make a point of checking her out first thing in the morning to see if this area is flat or still bulging. One of My female Buffs can look like that after she has been gorging in feed but by morning it’s gone down and looks normal.

Ok. Thank you Miss Lydia. I will be sure to do that first thing in the morning. I was out there just sitting with them earlier and I saw her eating and drinking and foraging around a lot. As far as I know she is pooping everywhere as well. I'll check her out in the morning and report back here.

Look forward to hearing back.

Just by the way she is foraging, and moving I doubt that there is a significant problem. Very likely a good eater/forager with a full crop.

I hope so. That makes me feel better. Maybe since she is an active layer she needs all the extra nutrients so she can keep laying those eggs. Idk. I'd rather ask and I definitely feel better because I did. I will check her out in the morn and if all looks "normal" I will be one happy camper. Thank you!

Always better safe than sorry.
