Ducklings

[Lourdie]

What should I do for my duckling with the crooked beak? I don’t know if it’s going to get worse. I don’t think I’m incubating again.

Pictures?

Pictures would be great.

Crooked Billed Ducklings, often benefit from a wide feeder and waterer, you can also make a soupy mix out of the feed for easier eating.

I’m sorry i don’t have anymore right now, but basically both top and bottom beak are going in separate directions

Poor baby!

Yeah I don’t know if it’s going to be fatal

I hope there's a way for this sweetie to thrive. How old is it?
Is this a result from incubation? (only asking because you said that you didn't want to incubate again - or something similar)
I wish you and this precious chick nothing but the very best.

Let me see if I can find the person...Someone was on here a month or two ago and their duckling had the same problem. As I mentioned before, a deep wide feeder, and a soupy feed mix makes it a lot easier for them to eat.

If you do a "search" on this site for "Duck with deformed bill" you'll find quite a few threads on this subject. I was going to copy the link here but there were quite a few of them.
