bill

Hi I have a question...Is this OK for a drake's bill to look like this? Why this is happening to their bills? This isn't my drake and it's from: https://instagram.com/fatty_and_friendsigshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA== The owner said it's OK for drake but it looks really bad imo..what we can do to help our...

I will come back to add more, edit and post photos soon, but wanted to share a duck bill repair tactic we devised that seems to be working, just in case anyone else has a similar emergency and is looking for ideas straight away. As always, this worked for us, but might not work for you, or I...

May 1, 2023 All Texas chicken lovers.....even if you already have chickens please help us who can't have them yet without this bill. Please call the Senate Committee on Local Government at 512-463-2527 and ask them to put it on their schedule for the next meeting. HB92 has already passed the...

Hi. I have recently bought 3 Muscovy ducklings about 10 days ago. (I also have 2 chickens and have had more of both in the past.) The situation: The ducklings are roughly 4, 6 & 8 weeks old. The oldest is also significantly larger, so I suspect it is a drake. The oldest has some sort of foot...

Hello all So while making sure we don't get sucked into tornadoes here in Central Texas (they all went north near Dallas) but we for notice something on the bill of Niles, Pekin male about 7 months old. Pictured here: It seems like scabs? They have a rough texture. Is this something that is...

Hey all, my duck’s bill seems to be looking rather interesting. I looked at it up close and have wiped it with warm water and dawn to remove any debris. She has water deep enough to clean her nostrils, food and water given daily. I did remove piece of debris last night that was hard and sort of...

I feel absolutely awful. My 10 week old runner (boy) bit my almost 1 week old (est) mallards bill. She bled a little bit at first and when I cleaned it with a saline solution it peeled a little bit. (I was dabbing it on carefully, not trying to rub but she wasn’t holding still of course) I put...

Hello. I know that mallard ducklings have a black bill that changes to orange w/ some black when they get their feathers in. I am wondering if the bill continues to change after adulthood. Does some of the black fill back in sometimes? I took a picture of a female mallard at 4 months old (left)...

Hi, I have a male pekin that’s 6 months old now, we noticed his bill had some dry spots like couple weeks ago, we took him to the vet and got some antimicrobial spray for his feet and bill. But his bill looks worse than before, please see the photos, is that normal? We’re very worried, should...

Hi pls help if possible,(not a emergency) the top of my ducks bills are look flakey dry and wrinkled. Their feet are similarly dry. It doesn’t seem to bother them but it confuses me . They constantly have deep water and eat organic layer feed with separate baked egg shell crumbles for a optional...

Hello all! I posted on here a couple months ago about one of my ducklings needing help with her eye and it seems like she's gotten into some trouble again! I let them out of their pen earlier this morning and went inside to do some work around the house when I heard her loudly quacking like...

Hello, My sweet goose got into a scuffle with a dog & fortunately came out relatively unscathed. The only issue is the lower part of her bill has a protrusion that was not visible before. There was never any blood coming from it and she seems to be eating and drinking completely normally, but...

Hey everyone! I’m new here and this site has been very helpful for us being new gosling parents. We found our baby about 3 weeks ago by herself with no mom and no siblings so we took her into our family. She has been eating fine and we are adding nutrients to her water but in the last week or so...

I’m receiving conflicting information and I’m honestly confused. A normal Toulouse goose’s beak should be orange, persimmon seems to be the exact shade mine generally have. I’ve read that if their bill turns yellow it’s a sign of jaundice, like in chickens when their comb turns yellow. But...

:frowHi there! Both of my Salmon Faverolles have bill abnormalities and the feathers under them are always wet from drinking... like a baby with a wet bib from drooling. They used to mostly dry overnight when they roosted. But now that it’s winter and they never get an opportunity to “dry out”...

Yes I know the emoji is a swan. There's no goose! Matilda Jane , my 3ish month old embden goose seems to be developing a big underbite and a slight crossbill. I didn't notice any deformity at all when I got her, but it seems to be getting worse. Anyone else experience this? Is there a...

Went out to care for my ducks this morning to find a male and female (Mallard, adult) had escaped the enclosure in the night. After putting out some feed I noticed the female was hissing at me, which is abnormal for her as she doesn't have any babies or eggs at the moment. Then I noticed the top...

A sea gull showed up in Culver City, CA, three days ago with a large growth above its bill (in front of its right eye). It is near the bike path along La Ballona Creek (just west of Sepulveda Blvd and south of Lucerne Ave.). Does it need to be treated?

My drake’s bill looks flakey up top. I’m not sure if it’s normal or not! Please help! He’s 6 months old!
