This happened to me twice. It is a genetic defect that I believe comes about through line breeding.when I introduced some unrelated stock it stopped.

The sudden death, the stunted growth, the strange feathering, all of it?

Yes all of it. Its like they got 3 weeks old and stopped. The one that lived the longest also eventually lost the ability to walk. I took the first one to an avian vet who the consulted with a national duck expert at one of the best vet schools in the country and this is answer I received. ill see if I can find her picture. And from hatch to about this size they appeared normal.

Sorry, I'm famous for blurry pictures and since she's alone its hard to see how small she was.
