What's on my ducks bill?? *Pics*

[_-Captain BRM-_]

Was just snuggling with one of my duckies and noticed this on her beak. Shes 7 months old. Pekin. Any ideas of what's going on?

It's melanin skin pigments showing through and perfectly normal. Melanin skin pigment is actually always there, but in your ducks case covered with the orange pigment from her bill. In female ducks the sun, hormones and laying eggs can cause the orange pigment to fade and the melanin skin pigment to show through.
