daisy has been laying an egg day and that together got us like five eggs whereas daffy laid an egg double yolk and then like a week later another double and then the other day another double and today a normal egg we finally found a vet for her and she goes on Monday I wish we didn't have to separate them cause daisy will be home alone for maby an hour without daffy and daffy will be at the scary vet without her sis i hope all goes well

For clarification, why are you taking her to a vet?

What do you feed them?

Do they mate each other at all?

they are both girls and eat a mix of all flock and cracked corn oh and I have had them for 2 weeks

Feather issues can arise when there is a nutrition deficit in the diet. By providing cracked corn in the feed you're effectively diluting down that amount of nutrients there getting. I would feed solely all flock, and maybe start offering greens. If you received them two weeks ago it's possible the previous owner had drakes and created the damage you see. Hopefully, with time it should resolve itself.

yeah they had three ducks and some chickens they where giving the ducks away and we took the last two the other one found a home I don't know its gender and then I feed them greens usually swiss chard it's there favorite they also have hay as a nest they eat that sometimes

They both appear to be females.

i know they are both girls i don't know the gender of the other duck they where with

I would be guessing males given the sores, but who knows?
