So I got a few Muscovy ducklings yesterday. I was super excited because she said I could try to sex them when I got there. I've vent sexed ducklings many times. I don't squeeze them and while I'm slow at it I can do it sucessfully without hurting them and usually get somewhere close to 50/50 but when I went to sex them one had a crusty cracked and bleeding vent so I told her and said I wouldn't sex it but it looks like a male and I wanted it anyways so I'll take it and then I checked the other three and one other had like hemroids or something on their cloaca. What would help them heal? I've never had ducklings with injured cloacas. ( I've never hurt anyone though. Even when I was starting out. I checked everyone and made sure there was no damage and was very gentle. I just want to express that because I know some people are against sexing birds. I find sexing ducks less traumatizing for them and probably safer than how hatcherys vent sex chicks.) I'll put the best pics I could get but I'm not spreading the one with a cracked vent and I'm not spreading the one with hemroids any more that what I did in the pic.i don't want to make them worse so I just did the minimum to see.

I had to edit this one to actually be visible but it already looks better than it did yesterday.
 
It will either heal up or it won't. Looks like it already is healing. I wouldn't do anything.
