Hii ppls! I have a Muscovy duck and I can feel her ribcage? She doesn't seem to be really hungry and if she is she has a constant supply to duck mash. (We don't have floating feed available)
She is also broody
Kind regards
 
Is she sitting on eggs? she is starving herself it can happen and if she isn't on eggs you need to break her of her broodiness asap.
Muscovy are so dedicated to brooding even if they don't have eggs.
Breaking them isn't easy but I take mine out of the coop they have chosen to brood in and lock them out during the day. It doesn't always work but you need to do something or you may lose her. I don't feed floating feed can't get it here. Just good quality feed kept where she can get to it easily if she is sitting on eggs and you want her to hatch them. And of course fresh water.

She isn't on eggs at all.
I have taken her out of the coop mostly every day and locked the door. We are getting her some ducklings soon cuz I'm tired of her broodyness
