I have good news, I found the other duck and it’s injury’s don’t seem to severe and it’s still quacking like usual. The other duck seems happier and is now quacking a little bit but that’s the only real improvement. Also I’m going to post a picture of the injury’s in a second.

I've seen ducks with worse injuries than her, but she still needs attention, and really needs to be brought inside. The feathers need to be trimmed, the wound needs to be lavaged and have an antibacterial ointment applied. Most sick/injured birds tend not to eat or drink as much, with that, their metabolic energy levels decrease, and you soon have a hypothermic bird. Along with keeping her in a clean area away from flies, it's vital the area be warm, but not warm enough that she's panting excessively.

She also looks to have wet feather, so any bathing at all, can cause her body temperature to decrease rapidly.

I was able to bing it inside with the other duck and the room is fairly warm. I don't know what you mean by lavaged? anyways i put ointment on the first ducks wound and tried my best to clip the feathers around the wound but some wounds are under the wing so i couldn't treat them. i wont bathe her but what is wet wing? anyways she seems to be alright and her wounds seem to have scabbed up i don't know if thats a good thing though.

Great!

Lavaged = flushed/flushing.

Here is some info on wet feather,

Now that you trimmed around the wound, could you post a few pictures of the wound, its quite hard to see in the original picture?

i might post another picture later, but right now i'm letting her rest, also how do i flush her wounds without hurting her? i tried rinsing her wounds with water but she tried her best to avoid the water, anyways thank you for all the help
