Answer
Are you talking about baby ducks? I don't know what quakers are unless you mean quackers as in ducks.

You might want to look closely at the eye and see if there is anything in it. Usually a bump or a virus will cause some swelling but usually it's a trauma that causes a swelling. If it is swollen worse or longer than a few days I would take it in to see a vet.

Since I am not sure what these are you probably should call a local vet and ask them about the eye.
As long as the one nostril isn't dripping or oozing a discharge I wouldn't be concerned about that.
