Hi all,

My young ducks have had constant problems - predominantly with some sort of respiratory disorder.  They all had great difficulty with egg laying - soft shelled eggs, weird eggs, unable to pass them, having to lay in the bath etc.  I had hormone implants in all of them to stop them laying - three months later they have started again and are having awful difficulty.  They seem otherwise well except some unusual moulting.  Their diet is excellent and they have access to grit.  I have tried giving bolus doses of calcium but it has made no difference so is not calcium related - has anyone had this or know what might be happening?  It is very stressful for all.

Thank you.
