Welcome to BYC.
Idk anything about ducks but if you can post a thread in the emergency forum you'll be sure to get help.
Post a picture. Please specify age, type of feed you give her, living conditions (space, how many other ducks & drakes), & whether or not she is laying eggs.
I wish you and your duck the best.

It sounds like what my drake does during the breeding season. Are you sure you have a female?

We definitely need to see a video to tell you what your duck is doing, to post a video upload it to a platform like YouTube or Vimeo and copy/paste the link here.

Hi I will try Iv got a feeling she’s rushing her food down because it happens after she’s been fed then 30 minz later she’s back to normal but the other female duck keeps getting on her back like there mating and pulling her fethears of the back of her neck why are they doing that ?
