I would separate her for a while and put her where she can't move very much. For me this is a dog crate with plenty of food and water. Let her rest and hopefully relax and let her walk around for a small amount of time and or swim in the pool (no male for that week). Hopefully she feels better really soon!

Well my buff is still hurt. I separated her Gave her warm baths Let her swim in the pool with her best friend And have kept her fairly quiet. She still has four eggs that she has been sitting on from before she got hurt. I have felt her leg and it seems to be very high up. We do not have any duck vet around here at all. So now what do I do?

Time, give her time. My drake hurt his leg a while back and other than limp I can find nothing wrong. So I have just been waiting hoping he sprained it jumping down from the pool instead of using the ramp. It takes time for some injuries to heal. How long has she been sitting? maybe if she has a while to go before hatch she'll heal. Because when those ducklings hatch she'll need to be able to get up and take care of them.
