The flock wont let this hen back in

[Fays Duck Farm]

My Cayuga duck MJ sat on eggs for about 2-3 months. I finally got her off the eggs last week.
she can barely swim
+she got no babies
the others won't let her into the flock. there acting like they did when we first introduced her.
i mean the hens are fine with her but the drakes are trying to mate with her to much.
i don't know what to do.
plus her head and some of her back feathers are gone
im really worried about her

You need to set her up next to them but where the drakes cannot get to her. It may take a while for the drakes to accept her back in the flock and in the meantime they will over mate her. A dog crate inside the coop will keep her safe overnight. This time of year it is hard to introduce a newbie and that is how they see her because hormones are over the top. Maybe set the females including the cayuga separate from the drake and give all the girls some break time.
