It's not uncommon for a duck her age.

I have 3 Muscovy ducks that will be 9yrs old in July, it's been a number of yrs since they laid, one even sat eggs last year and was momma for first time but the duckling that hatched wasn't hers. I guess they go through menopause just like the rest of females do.
 
thanks , i'm gonna miss her eggs so will the kids at camp they love them they keep asking me when she will lay more.
