okay i treated her for it just in case. She is still struggling to walk at all today and just laying down alone. ThanksThey usually go off by themselves you'll notice the vent pulsing like she is trying to lay. Sometimes they will look like a Penguin when walking. She may go in the coop make a nest and stay in. It needs to be addressed ASAP if you think she may be egg bound.

she is drinking some, but not eating. I do think she laid an egg this morning, so I don’t think she’s egg bound, so giving her the charcoalIt won't hurt to give her a dose of Cla glu this evening and keep up with the liquid B complex too.
Is she eating, drinking, pooping what does her poop look like
Yes thankfully she has been able to hold her head up, she’s separated during the day but then with the other ducks at night and this morning there was five eggs and one was beside her so i’m assuming that she was able to lay but i did give her some calcium just in caseIf you can keep her separated from the rest that way you'd know for sure she is laying. Unless you already have her separated. Sometimes an egg will press on the nerves in the back and keep them from walking too.
Just some extra info

Is she able to hold her head up, Botulism is also called limber neck since it affects the neck also.
