sick or eggbound or....

[BeckyDuck]

Hello my name is Becky and i am new to this site.

I have a 4 year old pekin named Boo who has been having some probelms. At the start of the week she was refusing food and would only stay in the corner of her pen laying down and would refuse to come out, now shes willing to eat hard boiled eggs before she was eating A/P laying pellets. She stopped laying a couple months back and had one last egg about 3 weeks ago that was very small and "fuzzy" looking. Before that she would lay eggs daily and occasionally ones that had 2 yolks in them. She is able to eat but when she goes to the bathroom its very liquidy and has alot of green in it. Is she egg bound or is this something else? I tried soaking her in a warm bath but nothing has happened.

This is the first female duck we've had so i am at a loss as to what to do.

Thank you for any information.

Have you ever wormed her??? Strange poo is sometimes a sign of worms. It could be a few other things too- but that is one thought I did have.

As far the the laying goes - has she been molting since she stopped laying ?

I havent wormed her cause the not eating and the constant sitting was worrying me, after her soak i moved her into a large dog crate in the hallway with a low set heating pad. I think the last time she molted was right before or right after she stopped laying I cant recall if it was before or after. Is there any point where i should worry and take her to the vet? Its about an hour away so I am not to big on stressing her if there is something I can do at home.
Thank you for the welcome!
