Hi, welcome to BYC! I don't know ducks, but hens often establish their place in the pecking order by mounting another hen. Is it possible the blood was from laying?

Hi! Thanks for your response!! We just found more blood on her other side and under her feathers. Looks like the bully is picking at her . Probably going to our vet tomorrow…don’t want to take chances

I hope all goes well. Do you have a plan for seperating them?

Well we bought a second coop that we are rushing to assemble ( bought originally for the chickens arriving in a month) , but looks like the garden shed will be a make shift coop for now
