@casportpony yup she's eating and drinking. and at first Marbles (the older one) was pecking her but not anymore. (btw her eye was already like this before he was placed with her)

@casportpony

never mind she is pooping

Pooping is a good, lol. That umbilicus looks pretty normal, just make sure you keep her brooder clean and dry until the scab falls off.

She's pooping, eating, drinking and she looks much more alert than the first picture you posted. Is she running around acting like a normal duckling?

@casportpony
yes she's very active but also very sleepy too

Does it look like the swelling around her eye is getting bigger or smaller?

@casportpony she does start squinting a lot as well

YAY POOP!

Keep an eye on her, make sure it doesn't get crusty and keep us updated on her food/water intake. Poor lil' ducklet! Did you start with the warm saline rinses for her eye? Is she still holding them shut?

@casportpony

it is a little swollen

Hard to say what might be causing the squinting. Do the rinses as suggested, that sure won't hurt.
