Help! My duckling has a deformed Bill

[KitKat1232]

Every time I try to feed it it sort of coughs
Does anyone how I can feed it?
I really want this duckling to live
I think he’s/she’s is having trouble to eat, unless it’s not hungry, it hatched yesterday, so I don’t know if I should feed and if it’s able to

If it is having trouble eating/drinking I hate to say it but I would recommend culling it
It is sad but you have to decide what is best for the duckling. I would only try to keep it as long as the issue is purely aesthetic and it does not have trouble eating and is seeming otherwise healthy.

Is there a way I can feed it?
with a syringe?
Btw thanks for trying to help

 

[SamuelMcF]

you could try giving some water in a syringe but eventually, it will need solid food. For it to survive as a healthy adult duck it will need to be able to eat on its own.

It is drinking well I’ll try to feed him myself if he makes it
thank you!

I wish you the best of luck and hope the duckling is ok!
