We have 4 runner ducks and one of them started breathing funny both belly and butt motion. She also is laying eggs with calcium deposits on every one. Finally I have noticed recently she hasn't been moving very often and likes to stay stationary whenever possible I have linked a video of her

What is wrong with her and how can we help?!?
 
Yikes that bird is in distress. What do you feed them? How old is she?
We feed scratch n peck layer have pretty much their entire life. We have mixed a few brands in, but been on scratch for over a month since last mix. She is close to a year and half. I feel bad I was assuming for a while that it was heat related because it had been so hot, but it has cooled and she isn't changing.

Bring her inside, start weighing her daily, if she is loosing weight you need to tube her. Not sure whats wrong but dying from dehydration wont help so start with warm pedialyte or Gatorade. Then you can do baby parrot food after you get poop.
