so we've had this problem before during the summer time our white crested female duck wouldn't lay and put her legs out behind her and couldn't move them so we put her in some water and she would go crazy drinking it and then would get better within an hour but now our mallard has that same problem but its going on for THREE DAYSP.S they are housed with chickens and a mini potbellied pig

Has she been laying eggs? have you put her into warm water and let her float for a while? sometimes if egg bound they can get where they can't walk. Or do they free range and could they be eating something that is causing paralysis? What other symptoms are you seeing? Plenty of room in the house you keep them in? no ammonia smell?
