Ya, right! lol.

A follow-up pic from earlier today. Although it's now nearly gone, our vet still isn't entirely sure what it was. However, the prescribed antibiotics are effectively addressing the issue. (Yay Dr. McDaniels!!)

Quack update: A close up pic after several days of treatment. As you can see, its gone down quite a bit. However... I'm now questioning what it is again. She'll be back to the vet next week for a check-in. Only time will tell if he has a different perspective as to what he's treating. More...

Quack, one of my Buff Orpington ducks, has in the last month developed a growth of sorts on her bill. (See pic) After researching this forum and via Google, I'm still unsure as to what it is, why it formed or, most importantly, how to treat it. She exhibits no other symptoms with the growth...
