My very lively and vocal Pekin hasn’t made a peep today. It’s freezing temps and I filled her pool, today because she was looking wet and dirty. She wouldn’t get in it, I placed her in it and where normally she’d have a duck party she just stood there.
She’s had a black spot on her back for some time but I’m confident that’s from being over mated since we only have two ducks. Today I checked and most of the feathers under her wings are gone. Raw pink skin but doesn’t look infected.
Her wings are now twitching involuntarily and she did not lay an egg today. But she’s walking fine and cleaning herself.
I’ll post a photo of underside of her wings.
Edit to add she’s pooping and it’s grey with what looks like chai seeds in it.

It may be time to separate her from the drake to give her a break.
