Hi all, I feel like I only ever post when somethings wrong!
My 1 year old female duck, Josh, is usually ravenous and eager to forage. Today, she is constantly sleeping standing up and hasn't moved around much, though she did put up a slight chase when I was trying to corral her inside today. I think I can feel an egg inside and I know she definitely did not lay last night. I've been trying to get her to molt, so she went broody a few days ago, started molting and was sitting on her eggs, I took the old eggs away and now suddenly this happens. I know they stop laying when they molt, but I am just worried that maybe I messed up when trying to get her to go broody and now an egg is stuck inside. Today is the first day she is REALLY lethargic, however stays standing. she half-heartedly pokes at her food and at the grass
my other concern is mushrooms. There are several in the yard and I try to stop them when they nibble on them but they tend to get to them first. Could this be toxicity? I'm wary of giving her a flush (I only have milk thistle right now) only because I don't want to dehydrate her...
ANY TIPS?
