Welcome to BYC. I am so sorry for your loss. I've lost a few to predators. (Including one of my own dogs.) It is never easy, but I like to think that I give mine a good life. Obviously you care, and that, in my opinion, is what makes you a good person and a good chicken keeper. Hang in there.
Get your little girl some younger friends and she'll be happy. I don't have ducks, but I've read enough to know that male ducks can accidentally kill hens. I would read up on that prior to housing them together.
Good luck with your farming!

Sometimes the best situations start with "trial by fire". My first flock had MS as chicks, it was a horrible first year trying to save them from dying. There were days I cried and wished I had never kept chickens. But I learned SO much in that time, I look back now and don't regret any of it, I love keeping poultry and I am a way better steward to my birds after all the knowledge I gained. Hang in there, it will get better!! 
The vet did mention he has done hysterectomies on chickens and I couldn’t understand why. Now I get it. I can’t kill a living thing, but see on here sometimes it’s the humane thing to do. I just don’t have it in me to do that, so what do you do if there is not vet open to euthanize it?
