Hi there! So I have six ducks total, 3 pekin (1 male, house-duck due to leg issues) and 3 khaki campbells (2 male, 1 female). My khaki tennis laying and one of the pekins is too, not sure which. One of my two female pekins has been panting today and laying down, then closes her eyes as if she is trying to sleep. She isn't really letting herself get separated from the raft either; she will get up and follow them if she feels they strayed too far. She got into the pool normally and is acting completely fine otherwise. Eating and drinking is normal too. I have noticed my two male khakis trying very hard to mate with her and she is running from it, which is unusual. Should I be concerned, or is this normal?
 
as incredibly hot and humid its been they're just hot mine are like that too but mine like to get in my face and do that and there breath is nasty
Only one of them is showing these symptoms though. I figured it would be more than 1/5th of my raft
 
She sounds exhausted. I would separate her. If you have any vitamins and electrolytes I would give her some. Apart from overzealous boys she may be getting picked on because she doesn't feel well. Does she lay eggs yet? If she's maturing it could be why the boys have a sudden interest in her.

One of my pekins is laying, but I am unsure of which.
