Need help with duck

[makaylaconway]

Recently, within the last week I should say one of my females started to become antisocial, wouldn’t go by the other ducks and absolutely doesn’t mind when I’m near. They like me but don’t normally just let me pick them up. I also noticed her staying in the coop when everyone else went out. At first I thought she might be depressed and thought about getting a couple more females but then I noticed she wasn’t eating. I just gave her a warm bath inside (because my drake is relentless) and feed her some steamed oats and eggs. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Should I do a epsom salt flush? I’m so lost and I really don’t want her to die.

Also, her poo is a bright green.

Welcome to BYC! So sorry your duck isn't feeling well. Is a vet an option? Bright green poop is a sign that there is something seriously wrong with her and a vet would be your best option. And I would not do an epsom salt flush because unless she is properly hydrated it could kill her.

I am no expert but she could be egg bound. Calcium Gluconate could help. I cannot remember the dose so others will have to help. I had a girl that acted very similar and then a few days later I saw egg white hanging from her behind. I gave her a warm bath and some CG and massaged her underside (I could feel something there). Within an hour she passed a broken egg and was back to normal. She did not have green poop though so that worries me. But I think you need advice from @casportpony @Miss Lydia @DuckyDonna

There is an avian vet but it is almost and hour away and money is really tight. Is there anything I could do to possibly help her at home?

She has never laid an egg before, she is only 13 weeks old.

first of all if you only have the one female I'd def rec you get a few more. Having a drake constantly after one duck isn't good for her health. It maybe she is just worn out from over breeding or she is sick. Sounds like she is hiding out from him. Is she eating what you made for her? Have you noticed her not eating the feed outside? Bright green poop can be a sign of not eating or can also mean sickness really hard to make a diagnosis but first of all I'd keep her separate from the drake. If you have to split the run into 2. that way they can still be together but he can't be mating with her while she is sick or recovering.
When did she lay last? do you notice signs of being egg bound squatting down when walking? bulge in the lower belly? How does her vent look? How old and what breed.

I understand both the distance and the money. There are things you could try, but before I suggest them can you post some pictures of her poop?

And is she drinking and eating?

Then disregard my comment. Now you see why I said I was no expert and referred you to others with way more experience than me? I agree with casportpony that a vet would be your best option. I am sorry you have a sick duck. and

13 weeks gosh too young to be mating. To me anyway.
