Hi and welcome to BYC - great to have you onboard with us. I'd suggest posting your question in the "Duck" forum for advice from the experts.

Hi

Glad you could join us here! I'm not a duck person but it sounds to me that she may just have a full crop. (Pouch where the food goes) Please do pop by the duck section ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/42/ducks I'm sure the keepers there will be able to help you amd if you could post a pic that would be great.

Good luck and enjoy BYC

Welcome to BYC

I think what you're describing may be their crops. When full, it can look and feel quite odd! Their crops should empty overnight, so check on them again in the morning, and see if there is any change.

sorry I don't know about ducks. But if a chicken has a full crop during the day, it should be empty in the morning.
