Hello, i had 7 ducklings hatch last week and as i was really examining the newest one, her bottom beak is longer and looks a little crooked compared to the top. What does this mean for her? She is healthy and active like the rest of her siblings, i am just concerned about the bottom beak.

Her top beak, after examining it more, looks like its the top thats deformed. Her siblings have very long beaks, and hers on top is pretty short. She seems to be doing okay with eating, drinking and preening. I just hope it doesn't cause a lot of issues as she gets older

She looks a lot like my adopted little Call... Leela, who turned out to be a drake, hatched with only one eye and a malformed bill... he eats, drinks and preens just fine...

Leela when I adopted him, a couple weeks old...

Leela is on the far right, just a couple days ago... :)
