Okay so this morning I let my ducks and chickens out and Johnny my call duck (Johnny is a girl) did not come out I looked in the house and she was sat in her favorite nest box I thought she was felling like laying and egg or she was feeling broody so I left her be and came back after doing the horses and she was out but acting weird, she was drinking the clean water but not swimming (which is weird) and she was not eating (she still has not eaten) so me and my mum caught her which was easy and she had a really mucky belly and a really mucky bottom and she did not quack!!!!!! She is a call duck and she always quacks! So we brought her to the house and we were going to put her in a little run next to the house, I put her in some hose water and then put her in a rabbit cage whilst we set up the run when we came back she was shivering so I put a heat lamp over her and set up a cage in our carport with the heat lamp over it
I have given her a bath with warm water to clean her and her vent has dried poo around it, she also has not cleaned herself
She does not like the area around her vent or her vent being touched
Just to narrow it down on what her symptoms are here is a list
Not eating
Not cleaning
black, grey and white poo/diarrhoea
Not quacking or making any noise
not doing much
Is she egg bound? Or trying to go broody? Or some else??
thank you for your help
