Broken duck bill

[Tami555]

Good morning, Have a question about my duck. Yesterday evening he came up to eat and was missing a part of his beak. Will he survive?

I will try to get some. He's down in the ditch right now.Im thinking a snapping turtle? We let them free range all the time. Except winter

Snapping turtle mabey but I would keep his bill clean and non infected to do so I would keep him inside in a dog crate or something.

Well the problem is catching him. We have had him for three years but he isn't social. He seems to be eating and drinking and don't appear to be acting different. He is very protective of my two Pekin duck's

Depends on how much of the Bill is missing?.....

 

[Tami555]

Maybe 2 or 3 inches. He seems to be acting normal

That's a lot of bill gone. I would waist till night then catch him and examine it better.ducks and chickens hide there pain very well.

Try catching him....You can use a net....Clean it up and even depending on the injury?...Crazy glue can be used...Just dont glue his bill closed

Yup defiantly don't glue the bill shut.
