duckling with deformed beak, and lots of smelly gas...

Update: Mugsy turned out to be a beautiful female. She is about 7 months now.

Thank you for the update!

Wow! She sure turned out beautiful. How does she do eating and drinking? That's the worst bill deformity I've ever seen.

@HeatherKellyB

Agreed. She is beautiful I love Snowy Calls
@quack_chick was she hatched in an incubator or under a broody hen?

She gets separated from the rest of the flock for breakfast and dinner because she needs a bowl of pellets that she can scoop up and eat. It takes her about 20 mins to get all she wants down her throat. She drinks normally. Then she rejoins the flock. She is happy.

She was hatched in an incubator and there may have been fluctuations while I was out of town. I had to help her out of shell and work hard to keep her alive at first but I’m glad I did. She comes into the house and sits with me. She does everything else with rest of flock and seems real happy.

You're not planning to breed her, right?

That is correct. No breeding for her just in case it is genetic. All her 10 siblings turned out normal.

Okay, just wanted to double check.
