Does she have any duck mates?

Yes, she has a drake. We bought them together as hatchlings.

Last night, she layed a normal egg, but one of them broke it.

This suggests the shells are still too thin - duck eggs are notoriously hard
shelled :~)
If you only have the two you may want to look into getting a few more ducks
to prevent him damaging her in the mating season.
Dilution of his attentions ! is a good move
