Are you close to a TSC? You can get Calcium gluconate give her 1 ml it’s awesome for getting this muscles working to get a stuck egg out. Needs to be done ASAP she may not have till Wed. @DuckyDonna

Do you all have feed stores there where you can by feed and live stock supplies? People who own live stock will use Calcium gluconate.

If they don't have Gluconate you can get Calcium Citrate. Get the Gluconate if you can though, easier to administer, works better.

i think i’m having the same problem. yesterday my one girl wouldn’t eat and spent the day next to the drinker. She’s been very quite even though she’s usually not. This morning i checked and she hasn’t layed an egg as she lays huge ones compared to the other, and seems to be pulsing her bum as if she’s trying to lay. What can i do if she’s got a stuck egg?

First off, Is she drinking? It's very important with egg bound ducks that they get enough water.

Go to your nearest feed store and pick up some 23% Calcium Gluconate, give her about 1ml orally. If she doesn't make any progress it might be best to bring her inside and let the bottom portion of her body rest in water.
