I should also probably mention I am having some type of respiratory infection going through my chickens right now. My ducks and guineas have been fine so far but my sick ducks breathing is actually labored right now so I don't know if this could have anything to do with it or not. I gave them all a round of vetRX yesterday so they could at least hopefully have a little bit of relief from whatevers going on until my antibiotic gets here. Also, the male duck that is in with her is acting fine.

Can you bring her inside where it's warm?

Once she is warmed up, can you get another video of her?

Is it possible that she is trying to expel an egg? Or is it possible she got attacked by some kind of predator?

This is her right now. She's acting a lot better than she was. She is holding her head up now and being a lot more vocal. She does still sound like she's having a bit of trouble breathing though and is still a little bit shaky. Her bill is also very warm to the touch.

Its not likely she's trying to pass an egg considering she's at least 7 or 8 years old. She has never laid that much since I've had her but last year I got like maybe 2 eggs from her and that's it so she doesn't really lay anymore. I won't however say its impossible.

As far as a predator attack goes, thats very unlikely as I haven't seen any marks or feathers missing from her or her mate. We also have a Great Pyrenees running around that kills any coons or possums that gets anywhere near my pens at night. And I'm outside all day long when I let them free range so I know theres been no hawk attacks or anything.

Could the male have injured her at all? I know male ducks are relentless when it comes to mating and they can mate the females to death.
