Duck always sleeping and lying down

[Eloise.cgt]

Hi everyone! First of all I have 3 ducks , a Welsh harlequin , a Cayuga , and a khaki Campbell that are all 3 years old . Recently, my khaki Campbell has gone from being the most greedy and loudest out of the 3 , to a quiet sleepy duck that isn't that much bothered about food . She is also lying down alot and just wants to sleep - whenever I let them out to forage more , she will eventually come out and then get bored and have a nap . I have seen some posts about this on BYC but I don't think they are the definite answer. For example, one answer was an ' egg yolk peritonitis ' which I don't think she has got because some symptoms are signs of blood , off odor , eyes bright and the belly being puffy or squishy which alot of these my duck hasn't got . However , she does look she has slightly more weight than the other two but I don't know if that is a major problem . Like I said I have 3 ducks which are all girls - I have only got about 1 egg a day but I am unsure who has laid this . Maybe this could be a problem that they are all girls and there has been a fight but it's the holidays so I see them quite alot during the day and I haven't seen anything . Please can anyone help me?

Has it been hot out?....Yes, extra weight is hard on Ducks...

Cayuga eggs start out black and then fade to an almost indistinguishable gray the more they lay, Khakis always lay tan eggs. I am not sure about the Welsh harlequin eggs. Does that help you figure out who is laying?

No , it hasn't really been hot out. England weather isn't the warmest.

Hi unfortunately she has died now I was wondering if anyone knows why the other two won't come out any more and are doing a different quack . I think there calling for her but do u think that soon they will start to come out more ? I just hope they don't get really depressed

Ducks always get a bit upset when a flock member is gone...Try and give them some treats and fun things to do...They soon will be happy again..
