I had this happen only mine were runners. Everything you read says they won't sit, well I had two choc runners sitting and were pulling feathers and everything , but my stupid males wouldn't leave them alone wanted to mate while they were sitting on their eggs in the nest ( crazy fools have been...
Ducks are so cute I love having ducks I am thinking so much of giving up my chickens for ducks only. I hope ya enjoy them pekins grow fast too and they are such fatty waddle butts

sometimes it's something in the egg and when they hatch they just keep dieing . I am so sorry to hear your having this happen I hope the others don't go too.
I think sometimes they drink too much water and do become waterloged. Usually when my ducks are waterloged it begins to run out their mouth as if they are throwing up. Then I just let em go with out for a few hours till they are normal again. It does look like she has a balance issue tho so...
