I think something is wrong with louie 😦 she wasnt in the chook house when i went to put them away, she was cowering in a corner underneath the chook house, all her feathers were ruffled, she was being very vocal which isn't like her unless there is food, we couldnt get within 2m of her without her running as fast as she could to the other side of the chook yard, she seemed uncoordinated as she fell over 5 times, when we grabbed her after 10 mins of trying just to push her towards the chook house she got into a top nesting box and fell straight out, hitting her head on the ladders we have in there (and our nesting boxes have little barriers so eggs dont roll out) and then she moved quite quickly to a lower nesting box and squeezed herself as much as she could into the corner 😭🥺😰

She's a 1 year old muscovy duck
 
It's hard to say. Could there be any bullying going on in the coop? Is it possible she is broody?
No bullying going on, she has lived with the hens since she was 4 months old, shes not broody either as still happy to socialise and no eggs from anyone at the monment cause of moulting season
 
I believe I'd fix her a quiet place inside your home so you can keep an eye on her. Make sure she is eating and drinking and keep watch on her pooping. Speaking of pooping posting a picture of her and another of some of her poops. Plus if she is not feeling well keeping her warm can help.
