Stuck egg or? (duck)

I'll have to check layer today.. Im at work now and really can't say all what I got. I had my phone with me when a bought it, I had a worker there helping me find what was suggested on here to me.
 
mix of cracked corn and mealworms

Has this been her diet til now? Was she given a regular flock feed before?
It *usually* happens in ducklings, but she may have late onset Niacin deficiency... it *can* show up later in life, maybe even triggered by reaching POL...

Okay, well I think at this point it would be best to get your duck to a vet.

Ducks require higher amounts of Niacin than other types of poultry, this is critical in the early stages of their lives... most feeds formulated for chickens don't have the higher Niacin, so it should be supplemented if using them cor the first 10-12 weeks of age... Niacin deficiency can show up as leg weakness, neurological issues and failure to thrive... most common is leg weakness and the unwillingness/inability to walk...

She was fed starter crumble for quite a long time, it took a long time to get our other duck to be nice to her, so She was in the house the first 3 months. She was the only chick and we had a LARGE bag for her to go though. She was still getting it at 4-5 months old. By that time we were mixing it with the scratch though. I bought probiotics tonight with niacin and calcium citrate in case that's not what I have at home. My daughter said she's still looking ok. I have the next 3 days off, so I'll be able to asses her better. My kids only 11.
I am reading all the posts and attached articles. Thank you everyone who is trying to help my duck!
