What are these brown spots showing up on her beak? She never had these, and these just started to pop up.

I’m unsure if it will be helpful or related, but… She also recently, for 2 weeks, she has been laying 1 egg a day, or two if she felt like it. Its also her first year laying. I’ve never seen Boba have these brown spots before, and they only recently started.

Because of her first year laying. We’ve swapper her meal to layer pellets, peas, corn, grit, grinded oyster shells. With oyster shells, grit, and peas/corn in 3 separate bowls.

Is it something to note and concern a vet? Or why does it happen?

Yes! Ducks tend to get spots on their bills and feet the more they lay :)
Some call them “age spots,” but I imagine younger ducks laying as frequently as yours could get the spots while they’re young.
Will it be bad later on? Does the “age spots” hurt her in any ways? Something to keep an eye on?
