Is she the only duck you have? Maybe she's lonely or moulting?

Yes she is as her sister flew awayabout three months ago despite having her wings clipped .She doesnt appear lonely probably because she and our rabbit are inseperable .She could be moulting but if so I didnt realise that she would pull her flight feathers out .She only moulted about two months ago .
