What would this be? I've noticed it in two of my four pekins now. So I'm a bit worried...

Do you mean the white tip? If so, that's completely normal. It's called a bean and is part of the anatomy of the bill. And like most animals, ducks need to shed old skin. The paleness of it is most probably because of this, and it will return to it's normal colour soon.

Thank you! My four are still very young. Maybe around 2 months old or a tad over now. They are growing astonishingly fast lol and their bills are changing, feathers are mostly all in now. More so for some then others. Some are a bit patchy lol. This is relieving to hear. Thank you again.
