In the future, I suggest housing them in a brick wall-free area. Or adding some sort of padding to prevent wonky bills.They look like they all ran into a brick wall and bent their bills.
You could try fashioning a splint out of duct tape and popsicle sticks. Remove once a day so they can eat and drink and re wrap tighter until it looks like a normal duck bill again. If that doesn't work after a few days I would cull.
Mine only scream at me if they want something or think I have food for them.
From now on I am recommending padded duck house walls and I'm thinking of designing a duckie straight jacket for the accident prone ones.

Or something is wrong.
Earlier Remi duck was screaming her head off and when I stood up to look she kind of flew up in the air as if she was really trying to get my attention.
Well she was.
Her pastel juvie kiddo has somehow managed to get sideways in the water trough I have. You know the one with the board over it to try and keep them from poopin in it?
Yeah.
She was sideways and upside down stuck in between the board and the side of the trough.
I swear with ducks there's 2000 ways to die. Thank goodness I was home I'd have hated for poor Remi to lose her kid to a freak accident getting stuck somewhere, the same freaking way she lost her best buddy.
To me it looks like they stood too close to the fire and their faces started melting.They look like they all ran into a brick wall and bent their bills.

Or they're duckie snobs, always looking down their "noses" at us...To me it looks like they stood too close to the fire and their faces started melting.
Maybe offer the straight jackets as a bonus when selling your ducks:
They always reminded me of the old plague masks. I was looking at buying this sign to hang over the sink my husband is installing in the new poultry area in our barn. I thought it fit well
I LOVE THAT DAMN SIGN.They always reminded me of the old plague masks. I was looking at buying this sign to hang over the sink my husband is installing in the new poultry area in our barn. I thought it fit well
