Our one female Muscovy duck has been laying in the same place for a day or two, she moved a bit earlier but used both her wings to pull herself around. Not sure what it is but she is still eating and drinking fine, but doesn't struggle when I pet her or nudge her. She broke her pelvis when she was very young but she healed perfectly and I don't know how she could have hurt it again, the male and her are both molting and we haven't seen them mate for a couple weeks, so I don't think it could be that again, and she hasn't layed in a year and a half or so. I'm very worried I know this is detailed but I hope this helps someone to give us insight on what is going on and how to fix it. She is our favorite duck and we really want her to get better.

We are used to having a duck break a leg but usually they hobble on their good leg and she isn't even trying to put her feet down (but they did tense when I picked her up).

Wow I see why she is your favorite. So pretty! Unfortunately I don't have any ideas for you. Let's tag some peeps.

Sunny passed away this morning. I don't know what was wrong with her, definitely not egg bound she stopped laying a long while ago, I think she was just old and it was her time.
