Spots on my ducks bill

[mccullion11]

I took this picture with my duck today and I thought it would be the perfect time to try and get help and advice to the cause of my ducks bill looking the way it does. Anything will help!! Thank you!

What a sweet pic!! My ducks would FLIP if I tried to snuggle them. Lol. I've read that once females reach sexual maturity, their beaks may get freckles. I've also seen people say it's just something that crops up every now and then in pet quality ducks. I think it makes for an adorable face!

How old, duck or Drake and pekin....?

I think it makes for an adorable face as well! I was just hoping it wasn't a disease or anything serious. I have another duck and it doesn't have any freckles on it so I thought it was DEFINITLEY something bad. It should be about 4 months old

She is perfectly normal! She has no disease! If you didn't already know it, your duck is a girl, and those spots are caused by hormones! She should start laying soon!

Cheers!
