That's great! It looks like there's a bit of bruising, but if there's no open wound, I'd rearrange the feathers over the bruising, give her some electrolyte water (the most popular brands of electrolytes are sav a chick and nutri drench) and send her on her merry way back to the flock.

i’m a bit worried about the poor duckling though she doesn’t want to eat.

Try making her food into a wet mash, either with water or egg yolk.

Also try holding some up to her beak, because she may just not want to move her head/neck.

I think that it is shock, as well as stress from being separated. You have to keep her separate, but she’ll get used to it and the shock will wear off.
