So my duck Rudi the past couple days is all scrunched up when she gets out of her coop and when I’m around.
Camera in the pen died so can’t se if she’s like that when I’m not around. Rudi is the first one in the below videos She’s walks all hunkered down while my other Rouen, Rio, walks around normally

She can stretch her neck out. Sits like she always has. Legs and wings seem good, she lays an egg every day. She seems agitated though

Do you have a drake? My Mallard hens always do that in the spring, or mating season. They're trying to attract the males attention as fi they want to brood. I have one hen who does this and never actually broods, and the other always does. How long has it been going on?

I have a drake but he never wants to mate.
she’s been like this just the past couple days

if it’s just her trying to attract a mate I won’t worry. I just want to make sure it’s normal behavior.
