Hi all
So a week ago one of our 10 month old ducks had a vent prolapse when laying her first egg. We brought he inside the house and treated her for a few days, she's healed up and back to her usual self now, we're just keeping her inside until she lays her next egg so we can make sure she doesn't prolapse again. We've kept the house cold at 10-12c, that's as low as we can go tbh, outside the day is around 8-10c so not much different, but nights can go down to 2c
My question is, should she lay her egg ok and be good to go back outside, is there any advice on the best way to reintroduce her to the other ducks? She's part of a trio, another female and 1 male. We don't want there to be any issues with her going back to the other and also back outside?
Thanks for any advise!
