I found my duck dead in the duck barn about an hour ago. She has been eating, laying, and behaving completely normal, she's two and just recently started laying normally again.

These are photos that I took of her internal organs, except for the heart and lungs.
There was yolky liquid (on my hands) and rotten egg smell in her body cavity, externally her abdomen felt a little squishy and kinda like a bag of fluids.

She had quite a few developing yolks inside

By far the weirdest thing was this leathery white tube connected to a bag of dark fluid

The membrane around the white tube was also very full of yolky yellow fluid.

This green fluid was the last thing to leak from her vent.

Everything else seemed pretty normal

Do we think she died because of a reproductive problem? I really didn't see anything else wrong with her.
