Duck bill trouble

[Runt of the Flock]

My ducks appear to be developing scab-like brown spots on their bills and it cant be washed off. They weren't there on Monday but showed up somewhere in between then and now (Thursday)

It's probably just melanin, ducks naturally develop black spots on their bills as they grow older. Unless they are acting off, I wouldn't worry about it.

Nothing to worry about! There is rarely a duck without pigmentation spots in the bill.
