Runner duck not pooping

[MolliMonster99]

Hi everyone! Yesterday while I was at work my partner said that my Runner duck Storm (11 month old female) was a bit wobbly and slow walking around. I checked on her last night and she seemed fine, so I let her get some rest.

This morning I came up to feed them all and she was super happy! Head bobbing, tail wagging, loud quacks, etc. She's eating and drinking completely normally, but I'm concerned she hasn't pooped yet? I've been with the flock for almost an hour and I've yet to see her go. It sounded like she was farting almost? Like, I was sat with her and I could hear these weird creaking sounds that sounded exactly like she was passing gas. I'm really concerned about her. Does anyone have any advice on what it could be or what to do?

Update: she finally pooped a normal poop, I think I may be an overprotective mama! I get worried over the smallest things

Thank goodness, and it doesn't hurt the least bit to be concerned they hide things from us so easily. If she is laying you might want to get some liquid Calcium gluconate to have on hand. Just in case any of your females might struggle to lay an egg. Always good to have these things on hand.
