I’m so sorry I keep posting 😭 I just have so many questions lately. But this time I’m nervous I noticed two of my ducks have a very big neck thing going on and their chest is puffed out. This has been going on for a while and it’s new to me. Is it a breed thing or is there something wrong with my ducks? And yes I’m aware one of them has angel wing, I chalked that up to genetics since I fed them all the same thing since hatch.

I keep grit and calcium out for them, also they can forage in their run And I’ve noticed she’s shaking even though it’s sunny and not very windy out
 
Oh no and the other ducks are picking on her. I think she might be sick? My husband thinks she’s molting. But idk

How old? what are you feeding? If mine I'd bring her in so you can monitor her eating drinking and pooping. She maybe sick and this is one way to find out. Plus shaking doesn't sound good. A large dog crate will work for the inside hospital.
My 2 Buffs ducks can get rather large in their chest when they have eaten a lot. But the fact that yours is shaking and the others are picking on her make me think there is something going on.
