Just as the title says. Received a shipment of eleven ducklings about three days ago and they’re i believe five or six days old now. All the rest are doing fine and technically so is this one, but her beak looks weird. Still eating and drinking fine but I’m worried it will get worse as she grows. Do you think there’s something I can do to mitigate it? It’s not crossed, both parts are perfectly aligned, it just looks like when she was made somebody was sloppy with putting her beak on straight!

She's cute. I don't believe there is a fix. It could get worse as she grows, but it's not an issue unless she has problems eating. She won't know she's different. 😊 Maybe make it easy for her to eat like providing wet mash if needed.
