I "bought" a duckling from tractor supply August 15th, and I say that due to them giving me this duckling for free along with two others due to it having a closed eyes, a matted spot on his head, and some problems with his bill. I managed to get his eye open, and the matt on his feathers seems to be healing so the only thing that i cant figure out how to fix is his bill. He had dips in his bill in two spots, but they dont seem to be messing with his nostrils or his breathing. His water and food habits seem normal for a week old chick, and his poop is normal as well. I wanted this addressed to see if neosporin or electrolytes will be essential to help him heal. I dont know the specific breed but if his color indicates anything he might be a pekin duck. Guessing he is about a week old, and he had this injury when I got them. Dont know the gender yet, but assume it's a boy. The siblings dont have any injuries or problems. And they don't seem to be attacking or mistreating him any.
