Female muscovy laid 1 egg per day and suddenly stopped.

She has already laid four eggs and today she did not. I watched her behavior and she look worried or something, trilling alot and going out and in the duck house. Is something going on or is it really cold for her? - 8 c right now.

Have you been taking her eggs up? I doubt it's too cold since she has been laying anyway but they can and will skip a day or two off and on and also take off longer periods too. Keep an eye on her since she is acting a little odd. Make sure nothing inside their house is amiss too.

Can you get her inside in a warm bath?

I can't right now because I am currently in school and my parents said that she's fine but I hesitate.

Well if they aren't willing and they say she is fine, then all you can do is hope they are right. If she is a new layer it can be stressful when they begin to lay so maybe that is it. Hopefully when you get home she'll have laid her egg and is doing fine.

I agree with @Miss Lydia. Muscovies can lay in very cold temps. I have a hen that laid through that winter vortex, laying eggs when it was -34C.

I hope so.
