Duck injured her bill. Will/can this heal?

[omeomy07]

Yes I'll spray it again since cleaning

It’s amazing what ducks can heal from so I def think she will heal. She is going to be hurting for a while but just give her time.

Should I quarantine?

If the injured portion is loose and 'flapping' around, I might be tempted to Crazy Glue it together. I'd keep her as clean as is possible (Yeah, I know she's a duck.) She may need moistened feed to facilitate eating.

You might want to keep her separated but where they can all still see each other. Also you might want to make her feed into a soupy mix it will probably be easier to eat.

I have her in this inside for tonight... I'll have to put her out in a kennel in the morning to hang out with her friends

I’ll tell you something else I have done when mine have put holes in their bills I put 1 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar into a gallon of water ( trust me at that strength it won’t burn) this solution can kill some bacteria and help with healing. This is of course up to you.

It definitely could have been fencing. I'd put up some 4*4 goat wire and attached chicken wire when I still had the chickens and ducks separated. I have the gate removed but never took the fence materials down. I'll have to tomorrow afternoon.

That looks great. Please keep us updated on how she is doing.

I'll add some to this water. Thanks!
