They just kinda keep to them self lay down don’t eat and wonder off alone I didn’t notice this last one but the 3 before this I noticed 3 days before they died that there was something wrong

How old are they?..Explain more about feed and set up..

Are they free range? Is there anyway they got access to a potentially poisonous plant or berry in your yard?

It's not a good idea to have non laying ducks on layer, not saying that is the problem but if you could have had a necropsy done on one of them that may have given you your answers. I hope you don't lose any of the others. How long has it been since the others died? And are the ones left acting normal? In good weight eating drinking normal poop looks normal. About the only way to tell if a duck is in good weight is by picking them up you sure can't tell by looking at them.
