deformed bill

Hi, we just had our baby mallard duck hatch 5-29-2022 and he has a bill deformity. He seems to be doing well but it’s only been 12 hours since he hatched. I was just wondering if anyone has been through this, when, what and how did you start the feeding process. I did give him some water today...

I have a call duckling that hatched with a deformed bill. It looks similar to scissor beak/crooked beak you find in chickens, but I think he only has one nostril. His tongue is also exposed so I’m constantly worried it’s going to dry out and cause him pain or make it difficult to eat. Right now...
