I think even if she just eats a little it may have that affect if it is going to do anything at all. Of course I don't know any of this for sure!

It MIGHT help their bodies make the broody hormones, some people say it has helped. It certainly wouldn't work on every duck, but maybe it would if you have a duck that still has the instinct to go broody. All you can do is try it.

earlyer on she was inside the shed and i put my hand by her and she was hissing she was standing by the eggs

when i went out now 2 put the ducks inside there shed all the corn in the dish was gone so 1 off them eat it

i put the corn in a dish and then put it in the run and the both girls eat about half eatch is that ok ?

That's fine if both hens have some corn. It's interesting that the hen was hissing at you when she was by the eggs, that is something they do when they go broody. But if she's not sitting yet you do still have to wait to know if she will go broody for sure.
