Ohh ok, I thought that you specifically thought that since you were a Christian that it would “go against god to not listen to Christian music”

That's only really different groups. It's not an actual rule.

I know, but that’s also just the beliefs of some specific older people. That music that mentions a devil or generally just isn’t made by Christians is satanic

Hey @Canadian Wind , have you ever had a duck start laying internally?

Nevermind, I think what I'm seeing is normal. Looks like they all have it

 

[Canadian Wind]

I've never heard of it, and I'm glad it appears to be normal. I don't think they can 'lay' internally, since the egg is already inside, but perhaps become egg-bound, if that's what you mean.

I know with chickens, there's like a gap between two of the parts, and they can actually start laying internally because it falls through the gap or something before exiting the body. I'm not really sure, I've never happened across a hen that died from it thar I looked inside so I'm not sure what all it intails.

Well then, learn something new every day!

This is exactly what happens. Normally yolks get deposited into the oviduct of the bird, however it the oviduct sustains damage or develops infection at the entrance, scar tissue can prevent the yolks from getting into the oviduct and they get dropped into the body cavity instead. This can happen in any bird species. It can also be a genetic trait, hatchery chickens tend to be more susceptible.

One of my pullets had a softshell egg break on its way out (I think). I made a thread about it, but here's the short version, and a question.

I saw what looked like poopy egg white on her bum, and she was in the classic "I don't feel good" pose. I brought her inside, washed her butt, and saw the soft shell sticking out of her vent. I got it all out, saw a bit of lash material, and dosed her with a calcium tablet. Then I started her on a 10 day course of Amoxicillin, which is over, and she seems to be fine, thought I've yet to see her lay another egg.

I treated this same bird for coccidiosis when she was about 5-6 weeks old.

Any connection?

Any connection?

This would be an interesting hypothesis. Waiting to see what someone experienced has to say
