What is wrong with my male duck's member?

I noticed this hanging from his vent area the other day and it is still present the end of looks deformed and there may have been a little blood on it. Today I saw one of the other ducks snap at it while he was bending over. Is there anything I should do? What is it? It just hangs down all the time and doesn't retract

It's a prolapsed penis, and it looks as if it may have been bitten/injured by flock mates. I'd separate him from the flock, coat the penis with antibiotic ointment and hope that eventually it retracts. Sometimes they become necrotic and must be removed.

It's funny. I have the same thing. I wonder if it's a virus. LOL
