Welcome to BYC. Introduce them to one another on neutral ground. The 3 year old hen may be human imprinted and not even know that she is a duck.

So this apparently seems to be the problem. The Muskovey hen I adopted from my neighbor, Cheesy, was given to them with a sibling who died after about a month. Her only exposure has been with humans. I decided to adopt another hen so she wouldn’t be alone. It has been a week and they seem to get along but Cheesy doesn’t know how to interact with the new hen. Any suggestions?

Give her time.
