Limping badly, using wing as crutch

[josh76]

When is the last time Honey laid an egg @josh76

It's been a few days. Honey started limping about a week ago, so it looks like she's layed an egg at least once from the time that the limp was apparent and now. But for the last few days, there's just been one egg and it probably belongs to the other female.

Also to note, everything else seems to be fine. Honey still grooms herself, eats regularly, doesn't exhibit pain. Nothing feels out of place or broken. The bad leg/foot is the same color and temperature as the other leg. The only thing she reacts adversely to is trying to press around her abdomen area to feel for an egg, but she's always done that.

And have you felt anything abnormal when feeling around? Leg injuries can take a while to heal rest and Epsom salt soaks pol therapy can all help. Has she ever laid a soft shell or shellless egg since she started laying?

@Lil Drake40 - I currently have Honey, Josh was posting for me as he was the original owner. I've only had the ducks since March, I've never seen them lay anything but regular eggs. As far as I can tell, she is not egg bound. Her injured leg looks and feels the same as the non injured leg. She'll put slight pressure on her toes, but will not put her full weight on the leg/foot. Both Josh and I are stumped as to what's wrong with Honey.

Possibly just an injury they don't have the strongest of legs to begin with. So hopefully some good rest and it wouldn't even hurt to try some B Complex liquid with her 1 ML from TSC in cattle dept says injectable but can be given orally.Most just put it over meal worms and their ducks just gobble it up. And if you are putting out Oyster shell that is always good too since they can get depilated in calcium when laying also. That can cause lameness.
