My duck hasn't layed an egg the past 3 days and has pooped several piles of yolk. Is she okay, what should I do to help her?

Ok, good to hear she laid an egg today. Is she eating and acting normally for you?
Any egg shell shards in her poop? Please please watch her and if she starts slowing down, or gets a far-away look in her eye, get her some veterinary care if at all possible. Otherwise I would start her on antibiotics. I have lost two ducks to e.y.p. I am convinced if we intervene in time, we can save them. But they don't show symptoms.
That said, I have seen a duck pass some yolk, and then just a membrane, no shell, so it was an egg without a shell and I monitored her closely - she is fine.
