No Eggs

[coloradoflock]

Hello All,

We have a mixed flock of chickens and ducks, about a week and a half ago our male duck started going after one of our chickens. We got everyone separated and no major injuries occurred. Our hen was a very consistent daily, brow egg layer. She laid two very small and almost white eggs for two days after getting attacked but hasn’t laid since. She has no injuries, isn’t lethargic, is eating well, and otherwise seems as happy as she ever was. Should we be worried about her getting egg bound or is it likely just stress and she should hopefully right herself soon? Thanks for the help!

FYI She’s a little over 1 year old

She'd be dead if she were egg bound.
What's their diet? It's very likely stress.

That’s kind of what we figured. They all eat Kalambach organic mixed flock crumbles, free access to oyster shell, and a fair amount of greens. She seems back to her old self, so hopefully the stress is receding.

Be sure not to give excessive amounts of kale or spinach, they have calcium blockers.
