Good job. And here I bought manuka pretty expensive too.

Thankfully I haven't had to deal with a prolapse and hope I never do.

I hadn't ever had one before either, and luckily my first was not a bad one and I caught it right away... she is one of my tiniest Calls, so think it was an issue with a bit too large egg... the smart girl immediately went broody after I released her back into the flock too, so think that helped, lol...

Yes I am sure that helped. Are their eggs about the size of a bantam egg. say Cochin bantam egg.

One of my Buffs ducks lays a huge egg a couple times a week Always make me cringe when I see it. I keep hoping the older she gets[1yr now] that they won't be this large.I always have to look at the rear ends when I see one of those whoppers.

Contrary to their body size, no, most of their eggs aren't that small... a couple of my smaller girls *might* lay some close to that size, but most of them lay about a medium chicken egg size to even a large... they're bantam sized in comparison to regular duck eggs though...
