Cracked Duck Bill

[Dawn @ Breezy's Legacy]

Can someone please give some advice. Dinky got spooked and now somehow her bill got cracked at the tip about a quarter inch. It was bleeding but I got it to stop. What should I do now? Will she be ok?

Mine cracked the tip off about a month ago. She is fine. I put styptic powder on and blue kote (so the others did not bother it).
As long as she can eat and drink, she should be fine.

Calm her down, put a moist wash cloth over her beak and eyes/head, a beak is a chicken’s most delicate/painful feeling part of them, be gentle, she is probably in a ton of pain, I don’t know how to heal her but keep her calm until further directions

Dinky is a single duckling that I have raised since she was about a week old. She is laying in her bed in her crate. I have added a picture to my post so location of injury can be seen.

When I first read this, I thought chickens. I don't know if ducks are different.
