Pekin Duck Club!

I know people like that. They are typically very healthy without an ounce of fat on their body. But, I will have at least a little of what I want and like. Just remember how the scientific community says something is bad for you then a few years says just the opposite. I think moderation is the key. And a good sense of reality. Afterall, they say something in red wine is good for your heart but they don't tell you that you would have to drink about 10 gallons a day to get enough of it. And going the natural way...I have a potassium deficiency so I take two pills a day that, to get them naturally, I would have to eat 50 pounds of bananas a day.

So true, Jon. Remember the thing about how eggs were thought to be so taboo and now they're not?

Sorry I missed this one.... Many things can cause this, and in mine it has been has a bacterial infection, coccidiosis, worms or all three. No way to no which one it was because I treated for all three and they got better. I don't know much about botulism, but if I remember correctly, they usually die in 24-48 hours? And isn't a limp neck usually a symptom?

A picture of the poop would be very helpful.

Quote: Thanks for pointing that out to me... this might explain why it's not very effective in treating egg binding in birds.

OK so I got it. No spinach, and tums don't work. Lily did lay her normal good egg this morning so hopefully she's back on track. But what do I use as a calcium supplement for future reference? Everything I saw at TSC was for other animals such as goats, calves, etc...?not ducks
