Duck with swollen eye

Any idea what happened? Rough mating perhaps?
Well...she perhaps got pecked by one of the other ducks? We rescued her and so she was new to our flock of 5. They bullied her initially but then things got better! Now they're leaving her out again and her eye has just gotten worse and worse.
 
When integrating new birds you should introduce them through fencing first, let them get use to each other where the newbie can't be injured. Then gradually let them all be together with supervision. Now that she is injured they may try and pick on her more. So it would be best to make her a space where she can heal but still be close to everyone. The Terramycin should heal it up.
That's great you rescued her just give it time for her to be accepted.
