help. ducks are fighting and really injured

My father and I made two new ones, it was done by eye, but there's three in watch now.they can walk around in it just fine. It's helping a little bit but they keep picking at each other's wounds. I'm scared one might die
 
I would seperate them. If you have any crates for the injured that would work. Put the crate in a warmer part of your house where he doesn't get too much stress. For treating the injuries you will have to find some surgical tape of some kind to keep the skin from tightening and speading the wound up his back. Keep it moist until you do this add disinfectant as well I've been told iodine but not sure for open wounds. Then you can triage the wound with wraps which have to be changed daily and disinfected. I would keep him crated away from the others until he's completely healed. I would also say this doesn't look like a duck fight wound it looks like a gash where something tore his skin. Predators do this or maybe he was caught by something sharp in your pen. I would look into this before any more ducks get injured as well

It's not huge nor to small. I don't know how to meager it. There only there till they get big enough to not get taking by the wild birds out there after that they are all going lose on the land and its rather big, way more room then the house. About 3 more house with a bit of land fit inside the land here. I'm in Puerto Rico and I live in a hill like mountain
 
I was just told that it's the food I switched them to. The guy I got the ducks from told me to give that to them and then the days later they go crazy. Thank you everyone got your help and good words, I'll try everything ya said, thank you all so much.
