Guys, Bean is starting to freak me out. I need advice specifically from fellow diaper-clad duck hen owners.
So Bean laid an egg in her diaper this morning, which I was alerted to when she began squirting liquid poop clear out the back of her diaper - in other words, she had a blowout.
I removed the egg, wiped her and changed her, but when I stepped out to take out the trash, I came back to see puddles of poop EVERYWHERE! There's no new egg, so what's going on? I can't palpitate anything "in the chute" and being a call hen there's no way she'd have another egg waiting this soon, anyhow.
I mean, is she gonna be ok? Why is she still pooping outside her diaper and why is her poop so consistently watery? Is this normal for laying hens? First time with a female in a diapey and I am very concerned!
