Thank you xxx

Hi,
Xoxo still hasn't laid but seems well. If she had worms would she still be unable to walk without treatment? Should I still do the test or can that be ruled out? I'm still continuing with the calcium xxx

UPDATE
Xoxo still hasn't laid. The feathers falling out part of the moult appears to be over and her new feathers coming through are looking good. I'm still not sure whether I should do the worm test. Everything else seems fine other than the egg laying xxx

She isn't going to lay while in molt. But to help with her new feathers, up her protein intake.

Thank you. I'm worried about keeping her indoors for too long although she is company for Jerry still xxx

If she isn't lame any longer and is not having any problems then I'd put her out but you'll maybe need to let her be separated for a few days to let everyone get reacquainted. Especially since you have multiple drakes. Then again if she is company for Jerry you can do either.

Thank you for your valued knowledge and advice xxx

Xoxo went back outside this afternoon. Hubby separated her for a while with Quacker. I'm checking the camera and everyone is fine. I am concerned about not knowing if she lays but I don't expect her to now while she is still growing her new feathers. Thank you everyone. I feel sorry for poor Jerry by herself but hopefully she will be better soon xxx
