Identity of Proto-Slavic *jьkra ‘roe, spawn’ and *jьkra ‘calf of leg’ has been debated since the 1880s and was supported by most scholars. Probably from initial meaning ‘something swollen, bloated’. Фасмер 2, 125-126; Черных 1, 342, Derksen 2008, 210, ESSJa 8, 217-220. Baltic examples could appear under the Slavic influence or were descendants of common Proto-Baltic word (Derksen 2015).
