Pekin ducks

[Tash76]

I had 6 almost 6 months old pekin ducks 2 have mysteriously died suddenly one on Sunday one on Friday/ today the first one had no symptoms but the second one had weeping eyes, the two that died were both female if that helps they both died in a clump with their necks kinda curled around them but kinda out flat and to one side kinda straight out but slightly curled to one side of their body both were on their tummies, found at least a few hours after they died but no sign of riggamortis set in, both were found still soft and wobbly

Not sure, could be a lot of different things. The best way to get a true diagnosis of what happened when you have bird deaths is to get a necropsy done. They are available from your state lab. You need to keep the body of your birds refrigerated until you send it off.
In a few days they get back to you with the results, it's helpful to know if it's something contagious that could be spread to the remaining birds of the flock.

I think @Kiki has the state lab information saved on her signature.
