Came home today to find this from one of my 3 khaki hens. Any idea on what it it could be? Thanks!

Thanks for bringing this over to the Duck Forum. I wrote a response on the Emergencies post. Everybody acting okay at this point?

Looks like oviduct trouble. If you can get a good duck vet, that would be best.

I don't think you are sure which duck it is, do I understand correctly? Tub time for all three may help - they are likely to poop in the tub, and you can look for signs of blood or yolk.

She may need antibiotics to head off a systemic infection. Or, it could just be a blip, and she will be back to normal soon.

This is a case where I would watch as closely as possible.

Ducks can hide illness till it's too late. So we need to be proactive, and try to avoid worst case.
