Need help with duck

:welcome 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 have two females to one drake. I still plan on getting more once this is sorted out and I have a little more cash. She ate very little of what I made for her and I have noticed she isn’t eating the feed outside. I checked her out while she was in the warm bath and nothing look unusual, except her tail feathers on the bottom look to be stained from the green poo. She hasn’t laid an egg yet as she is only 13 weeks old. She is an Indian Runner.
 
I understand both the distance and the money. :hugs 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?
I will try and find some. The last poo she had was in the tub and I drained that already. Thank you for your help!
 
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. :hugs and :welcome
Thank you for tagging some people that can help! I should have included her age and breed in my original post.

If you can post some pictures of her too that would be helpful. That way we can see how sick she looks.
 
I have an Indian Runner who is just 13 weeks old and I am keeping her and her sister separated from my Runner drake because she has been acting like she wants to mate with my Muscovy drake and he is ignoring her but not sure my Runner drake would. I'd want to wait until at least 4 months before mating starts. Not saying this is the problem. How old is your drake and is he a Runner also?

My drake is the same age. He is a runner also. We got all three at the same time in May. I was told they were 2 weeks old when we got them.

Here are some pictures. When I went to check on her she was trembling as she was cold. I have her wrapped in a dry towel now. I also noticed she took a couple more bites of the oatmeal/egg mash.
