Pekin hen acting weird

[Little duck farm]

My pekin hen is acting weird she tucks her tail down and falls forward and like dives her head into the ground like she is unbalanced. And then her tail is tucked under. Can someone help, I was thinking egg bound but not sure

How long has she been like this? Is a vet an option? Is she drinking and eating? Go to TSC and pick up some Calcium Gluconate if she is eating mix 1.2ml for a 6 lb duck or .2mlper pound of duck. to get her to take full dose put it over something she really enjoys but only enough treat she gets full dose of the calcium. This will help her pass the egg do this 2X a day. Let her soak in a nice warm tub of water also. Keep her up so you can monitor her also. The vet can also give her an injection to help the egg pas if it is egg bound. How old is she and when did she lay last?

Thank you I will do that, we don’t have a vet in our area for ducks

Yes, please do that. I have one of my girls that is very prone to this. @Miss Lydia told me about this, I used it and I now even keep a backup bottle on hand. It's great stuff.
