Momma Duck Not Sitting With Ducklings at Night

With young chicks they huddle and break up if they get too warm and the coldest will worm it's way to the middle of the pile.

I'd give the mother a though looking over to see if there maybe reason she's too warm, other than the temperature . . . .check for a fever (no idea how) check for a retained egg . . . I don't what else too look for.
I’ll give her a thorough look over when I go out to feed. I have a rectal thermometer, I’ll check her temp to be sure. She shouldn’t be laying again yet, but I’ll check that too. Thank you!
