Duckling help! Injured and alone

[Adelic]

Recently I’ve had some chickens sitting on duck eggs. There were probably six but only one had survived (two more might hatch). Things were going well, and my two broody hens were taking care if it together, until today it fell out of the nesting box and got attacked by another one of my birds.

It survived and it’s mamas defended it, but now it has relatively big wounds in its head. Currently I have it inside in a brooder, but it is alone. This is so I can keep spraying it with Vetericyn and make sure it’s doing okay. I’m also worried that the chickens will peck it’s wound since it’s bloody.

What should I do? I don’t want to keep it all by itself, but I don’t feel like it’s safe being outside.

Attached is a photo of the ducking; it is the same on both sides.

Keep wounds clean and use neosporin without pain killer.
No pain killer as this is toxic.
Edited: The vetericyn will be fine to use.
Also, until the other ducklings hatch, put a stuffed animal with it for comfort.
You can give a little sugar water if it is in shock.
