Is this an adult duck?
Is it really hot where you are?

With out seeing her in person it would be hard to figure out what might be wrong but it could be respiratory with open mouth breathing do you see any discharge from nares? Eyes? I rec a vet because she probably will need an antibiotic. If you can post a video that would help. What is your coop like asking because aspergillosis is another sickness that would cause open mouth breathing. To post a video you’ll need to upload it on YouTube Vimeo or another platform then copy and I paste here.

A few additional things to @Miss Lydia great advice and questions…
Is she currently laying eggs?
How many other ducks do you have? Males & females?
19C = 66F so temps shouldn’t be an issue, but what about humidity/rain?
What type of bedding material do you use, or what is on the ground where she spends most of her time. (grass, mud, dry dirt, etc)
Does she have room to move around water to swim?

I’m sorry guys, thanks for the advice but she passed away this morning, we still don’t know what killed her though x
