Questions about duck eggs: Why are they so small?

[Miss Lydia]

When my Buffs started laying they would lay double yolkers 2-3X a week thankfully they stopped and now just lay a nice size egg. When they lay which they haven't done in a couple months. lol

Is a double yolker not good for the duck then?

Thankfully My Buffs got the kinks worked out and they lay single yolk eggs now. These were so big made be anxious she might not be able to pass it.

I have 3 females which are all good laying breeds. But I only ever get 2 eggs a day. I’m worried that 1 may be egg bound. The Indian runner isn’t as active as the Campbell’s and she also is rather swollen underneath. My nearest vets with a sum1 to look at ducks is a 2 hour trip, so seeking advice on here first.

How old is she and how long as she been acting this way?
Do you know when the last time she laid an egg?
can you feel gently her lower tummy to see if you can feel any eggs and also what colors are your ducks eggs? acting this because my Runners lay a blue egg

All I was told wen I asked about age was that she was last years hatch. I haven’t got hold of her as I don’t know wot to do and didn’t want to panic her. None of my eggs have been blue. All white

How long have you had her? She'll be stressed but a good over all examination would be good also. My Runners absolutely hate to be handled but sometimes it has to be done. I walk them into their house and pick them up when they put themselves in a corner.
Wrap in a towel then look them over if needed. She def looks to be around 2 yrs or more with the white coming in on her mine will be 2 end of April and are starting to speckle in white. One thing about being egg bound they usually don't live long unless they can pass the egg. Have you noticed any discharge from her vent? dirty bottom feathers.
