Yesterday’s morning egg. Not sure why it cracked like this....must be because it was -4 degrees.....She made a new nest and I could not figure out why??? Well last night I checked her old nest and the two eggs she had in there was FROZEN, hence the reason for the new nest. Sitting on those must have been so cold

Just fyi, I think all doctors/vets, etc, recommend just resuming meds at prescribed dosages if one is missed or late... don't double up a dose, most are figured out at the safe maximum to give at each dose...

Question, does the duck mouth/throat have the same set up like a chicken?

Yes. At the back of every tongue is the opening to the trachea (airway), and the esophagus is located on the bird's right side.

In this picture, the syringe is at the entrance of the esophagus.
