My duck's leg is shaking!

I wonder if as the egg is passing maybe it's hitting on some nerves which could cause pain? Just guessing here.
Yeah. It still having issues for sometime after laying an egg is what is confusing to me. It makes me think there is more going on, but I just don't know what.
 
@BelovedBirds you've helped me before hopefully, you can help me again:)
It wouldnt hurt to supplement niacin, incase it is something up with her leg, but I agree with @Quatie and @Miss Lydia
It seems it could be to do with laying.
When one of my girls was new to laying, she had a bad limp/slightly shaky legs as the eggs were pressing on a nerve. But as long as she is laying okay and has calcium, I would just add a little niacin to her food.
Is her food only ground corn? Is there any other duck feed available?
1tbsp of nutritional yeast to every 1 cup of feed will give her a little boost. If her walking is a bit off, consistently, between laying, and she is lying down a lot, then I would give her a stronger dose of niacin. Which would be the durvet cattle injectable B complex (1ml over a treat daily) if you can access it.

On another note, incase it is something more serious, some kind of reproductive issue, does her tummy feel/look ok? No visible swelling?
It may be worth seeing an avian vet if you can, as this does sound a little unusual.
