Help!! My sweet blue drake has a hole in his beak! I noticed it a week ago but it was crusted over so I thought maybe it was healing on its own but I looked today and the picture above is what I found. He is still eating and drinking but I really concerned. Will it heal up and grow on its own? It appears to have a small crack as well I don't know if my dog bit him or if it was from being bullied by another chicks (doubtful) or rubbing against the fence. I never noticed any blood. Any advice is appreciated he means a lot to me.

I know my drake had scratch on him today. I gave him a tub of water and spray of medicine . Epic salt and Vinager so maybe it would help your drake

Can someone tell me how to feather sex my blue and black swedish ducklings. Their feathers have just started coming in but I'm unsure of what to look for in males and females..

Just to clarify - I think tracyjg is referring to Epsom salt, yes?

The only way I know is a female quacks and a male makes an odd sound but not a quack. Females are much louder.

When they get older, the male will get a small curly feathers on his tail.
