Duckling with half of bill gone

[sourland]

It’s not a deformity, it was broken somehow. He was hatched perfectly normal with a full beak, so is there a chance part of it could grow?

If it was not a genetic birth deformity, it may very well regrow.

Oh my goodness! What an absolutely adorable duckling. Poor little thing. Looking at the injured bill breaks my heart. I'm no help but I wanted to comment to let you know that I am cheering this little one on. Hopefully whatever caused this will become evident so it doesn't happen again. Their bills are so sensitive and I imagine that was/is painful but the little cutie looks like it's got a strong will to survive and compensate to thrive. I wish you and your little duckling the very best

Thank you so much! He’s very lively and is eating, so i think he’ll be okay!

I’m at least hoping part of it will grow back.. knowing that there’s a chance is very comforting
