Blister/bump on duckling bill?

[Joy Jonsdotter]

This is my baby duck Lucy, she's a month old, and today I noticed a bump on her bill. It looks different from the other "bump" posts on here, so I was wondering if duck people could just take a look? I don't know if I should do anything. Vet is not an option-bird is half pet/half livestock. She's a Pekin, and her bill is wet because the only way I could get her to hold semi-still was to give her a lot of water. Sorry for the picture quality, she's pretty busy! No other symptoms as far as I can see; she lives with two Golden 300s her same age.

How does the bump feel - hard, firm, or soft?

 

[Joy Jonsdotter]

It's between hard and firm. I took a second look and I think she was scraping her bill on her feeder. I've never had Pekins before, so I wasn't used to how fast they grow, and I didn't notice that her bill didn't fit in her baby feeder anymore. I updated the feeder so I think she should get better relatively quickly.

Sorry for overreacting! I'm still figuring it out, and there's always something new!

If the bump is hard it's likely she is scraping her bill on the feeder; excessive rubbing, can cause proliferation in the cells resulting in a bump. Treatment would be self-explanatory for that.
