We have a hen who is just over a year old. about a month ago she started limping and his left foots middle toe(idk if that’s what they are called on ducks) is swollen. The bottom size of it you can see where it looks like she stepped on something. We figured infection. Cleaned it up sprayed with antibiotics. Nothing has helped her foot. Just the other day I noticed she looked even more off and her wing was drooping. She went to flap them and the one side was fine and she barely moved the other side. Any idea what is going on?? If they are related. Looks like her opposite foot has a little bump on it too. Nothing that compares to her swollen one. Thought about cutting it to try to relieve pressure but fear it’ll just attract more infection. Open to any ideas

Also forgot to mention she stopped laying!! Or so we think. She use to lay in our duck house but noticed she was nesting in a hollowed tree and has laid one egg there but we have not seen any since. I felt her and did not feel any eggs so I do not think egg bound but I am not super knowledgeable on that topic as I have never dealt with it before
 
I'm sorry about your duck. What breed is she? Can you post pictures of her foot, and a video of her moving around so we can see how she is holding her wing? Bumble foot comes to mind and can spread into the blood stream if not treated so if this is what it is you need to most likely get that infection out of there.
