What is going on??

One of my ducks seems to have a "droopy" stomach. Its hard to explain what it looks like, and shes so shy its hard to get a picture. I can try to provide them if needed though. Its like the bit in between her legs is lower than the rest, and it kind of looks like eggs are stuck in her in a way. If something is wrong, do you have any ideas on how I can help her, if needed? My other ducks don't look like this, they are smaller than her though. She is a year old blue swedish duck. It might be totally normal, because it doesn't look alarming and it hasn't changed. She is in perfect health. I am just worried and want to hear what other people have to say.

Can you post a video? Or picture? It’s hard to say. There are normal reasons as well as abnormal reasons. Is she laying eggs?

She is possibly egg bound. Get pics plz!

no she hasn't been laying

Is she pooping? If she is pooping she is not egg bound. If she was laying before but isn't egg bound, she may have just stopped because she is molting or about to molt.

That is the spot where ducks store extra fat. She may just be overweight. Does she get a lot of high fat treats like mealworms or BOSS?

Looks like her abdomen...how much are you feeding her? She is a pretty girl!(I think she is a girl)....

@casportpony this looks like the saggy skin on exhibition ducks and some geese. But I can’t remember what it is and if I’m thinking correctly?
