Not again 😣

No need for Epsom salt.

 

[Miss Lydia]

How much calcium have you given her and what is the dose for the cal you have.

 

[BelovedBirds]

Do you have Epsom salts in the bath?

No, its just a warm bath

 

[BelovedBirds]

How much calcium have you given her and what is the dose for the cal you have.

1 tsp is what she's had and that's usually enough
I just gave her about 0.5 tsp extra

She's putting on a great show of splashing and flapping her wings. Even brought her tail back up to normal position but I know my girl, she definitely has an egg stuck.
I just brought her inside to keep her warm (her bill was almost turning greyish, I've never seen that before. But she's back to normal colour now that she's inside. I gave her a little break on land, calcium, and ran a fresh warm bath. She's back in again now

 

[Miss Lydia]

If I remember correctly @Aunt Angus had to give her egg-bound duck 5 does before she laid. So I don't think you can over do when they are egg bound. Hopefully the warm bath will help her relax too.

I'll have to get a syringe, water it down and try to get it in her mouth, she won't eat anymore

I just got some lube to feel in her vent for the egg but as I felt around I could feel through her skin, it's right there

 

[BelovedBirds]

Back in for another bath and BAM laid it, just now
Thank god

 

[Miss Lydia]

Awesome!! Praise God!!

 

[BelovedBirds]

It was around....2-3 hours. Finally just laid it
How do I feel so exhausted, she did all the work

The relief is going to be short lived as that is another soft shell

 

[Miss Lydia]

Keep up with the calcium!

Stress exhausts us.
