my duck was injured and now it's not eating much

Any feed lots will sell oyster shell and possibly it needs more water to dunk its head..

i've been looking nearby and found nothing but i think that she's just broody because of the eggs thing.today she walked normally and this afternoon she ate more than she did the past few days. i'll just give her some time and see what happens. but the only thing i'm worried about is the squeaking noise. it would be understandable if she made it while i'm near the eggs, but she's making it whenever i get close to her.
BTW do the eggs take 35 days to hatch when she start sitting on them or since she lays them?. because only today she started sitting regularly.

Yes, you count from the day they started sitting. 35 days for Muscovy. Give or take a a couple of days when Momma is hatching.

Update:
She's been sitting on the eggs for a while and she looks so depressed and depressing, but now we noticed some eggs being laid somewhere else many times but we keep putting it underneath her. But now we wanted to check if the eggs are from the other duck and she's a female too. I candled one of the eggs and it was a bit dark from the top but to double check it we cracked it oped but we found no red (or white) spot. Should i wait longer to see if they were fertilized or i should just lose hope. And if i took the eggs away will she still act like this with the absence of eggs or she'll be back to normal

You should candle all the eggs and if none are developing you can remove her and destroy the nest. Block her from using it.

Silly question, but is there a drake?

I already opened the egg an saw nothing. If i destroyed the nest will she still be broody and just look for a new place to lay eggs or just be normal

I thought the other was a drake but we suspected that since we started seeing eggs laid in a different place

You only had one egg?..Separate her from the area so she forgets about the nest.

I had 8 but i tested one. I didn't want to annoy her any further. But the other eggs that we found in the other place there were three. We thought she laid them there so we put them under her. We only realized it's from the other duck
