Peeling beaks 😓

[NCISDUCKS]

My Male ducks beaks are peeling. My females are not. I feed them duck pellets and they have fresh veggies as well. I clean their water daily. They have plenty of shady spots to rest as well as their house open all day. I'm not sure what it could be. Help please

Could you post a picture of their bill?

Normal and nothing to be concerned about..

Definitely, nothing I would be overly concerned about, any other symptoms besides a dry bill? I think i have a few ducks that have a bill similar to yours, bills take quite a bit of beating over time since they are constantly digging in dirt/roots/rocks.

Well I know its brooding season and I wanted to make sure it's not from fighting. Other than that they are happy young men

I do have them separate as well after I saw the fighting

Ducks shed the bill so it's normal. No different than our finger nails.

Males are going to fight to an extent, if you see them inflicting serious damage or drawing blood I would separate then, a little fighting between males is common. As far as the bill goes, I wouldn't be too concerned about it, if they aren't showing any other symptoms.
