Rooster with one eye?

[3eyondblessed]

Hi all, I went out to one of my Bird pens to see that one of my Roosters eye is what looks to be swollen shut, I have no clue what could’ve happened. He is in with 3 Ducks, and one other rooster, but I have never seen them fight, ever. He is still eating and drinking. Im wondering what I could do to help him? Picture of him below. TIA.

Looks like he was pecked by a flock mate. It's possible that the eye is still there. I would start applying antibiotic ointment to the eye. Good luck.

thank you, would the manna pro hen healer be a good option? thank you again!

Antibiotic ointment would be better, but the hen healer would help moisten the wound if no ointment is accessible.
