Wow still laying, I have a 10 yr old Muscovy she hasn't laid in about 2 yrs.
Well you def want to keep her on something so she gets her calcium is calcium carbonate added to the feed?
Maybe add a good poultry vitamin to her diet. As we age our bodies need more nutrients and sometimes we don't assimilate them as well as when we were young. She may just need a good boost of nutrients. I know Amazon carries Poultry Nutri Drench which is always my go to if I have one not quite up to par. I am sure there are others too. Depending on where we live.
This could just be age related but I know that with seizures things in the environment can trigger them so maybe watch closer to what is around her when one starts. Is she being startled? Light coming on fast, scared out of sleeping etc. Even swimming can bring one on in a human. My dd had Epilepsy when young.
i know nutri drench is currently out of stock on amazon uk but ill try to find something similar. I think it could have a stress trigger, the first time it happened she was caught out in a thunderstorm and she was without any of the hens. I dont know the trigger this time but ill try to work it out
