    Duck Bill/ Over mating?

    Hi guys, I just got 3 Pekin ducks from someone. 1 male, 2 females. The females look like they're overmated? They both have missing neck feathers. But this one has missing feathers on her eyes as well. And she has a horrible beak! Is this from over mating or is it a fungal thing? Poor girl!
