SERIOUS HELP NEEDED; DUCK EYE PECKED OUT BY CHICKEN

[sscaria]

This is quite urgent; a friend of mine had a duck eye pecked out by a chicken. It seems broken, the eye, but I can't tell; the eye is have 'glued' shut from an unknown substance. From what I can see, it's like a void. It's leaking a bubbly, clear fluid too; not excessive, just kinda coming out and staying at the eyelid. My dad (Whom I very strongly told NOT to do this) 'cleaned' the duck's eye with salt water, and put turmeric powder to help it out. I'm not really sure what to do; The main thing I want is to un-glue the eyelid to see how truly horrible the damage is. Any thoughts on how to do so? It may even not be glued shut, I'm not sure, but that's what it seems like. Excess info is provided below. Please respond ASAP.

-duck doesn't seem in pain when walking around or when I clean the eye out; just trying to leave because the duck is obviously spooked by me; normal duck behavior
-female khaki campbell (name is brownie, but we like calling her quacki campbell)
-unsure of how long duck has been like this; probably a few hours at most
-seems to be no swelling

pictures will be added later.

Pictures will definitely help. Is the eye/injury exposed? You may need to isolate the chicken for now.

Could you share some pictures? Is a vet an option?

@Miss Lydia and @Isaac 0 will be more of a help than me.

I actually think what he did was a pretty good idea. Turmeric powder eh.. idk for sure if I would have done that but it is supposed to have some anti-inflammatory properties to it.
I would just keep the eye clean and cover it with some Neosporin or whatever kind of antibacterial ointment you have on hand daily.
You would be surprised how well the eyes can heal up.
The main thing is just keeping it from getting infected.

If you have or can get this this it would be a good one to use.

For flushing out an eye, saline is the best. Even water can be a little uncomfortable for the bird.

Just wanted to point that out for future reference.

Salt is a really BAD idea for an eye. For cleaning out an eye, saline is the best. Even water can be a little uncomfortable for the bird.

Well..
I suppose when I read salt I assumed saline. Not straight salt in the eye.
