Bought ducks from Tractor Supply and one has a purple beak...

I bought 4 ducklings from tractor supply about 2 weeks ago and I've noticed one of the ducklings beaks is a light purple color. Is this normal?!

I am sorry about your duck. I don't know anything about ducklings. So you might want to post this question in our Duck section and or the emergency section here on BYC for some info on this....

I sure hope he is ok.

Welcome to BYC. If your duckling is eating and acting normally, I doubt that the beak coloration is a problem. The duckling may very well be a crossbred.

You didn't say what color the duckling is, but I think Black East Indies have a dark bill. Not sure how commonly they are being sold at TSC though.

if you go to "other backyard poultry(ducks,geese, etc) forum, you can post your question and pictures of your duck for duck people to advise you.
