Hello!
I have a week old duckling with an injured beak. I was taking her outside on a nice sunny day, keeping her safe in my hands. My little flock of adult ducks waddled over, seeming interested. I crouched down, holding the baby (her name is Layla and she’s a Welsh Harlequin) close to my body and staying a safe distance away from the big ducks. Then my drake slowly waddled over, looked at her, and bit Layla!
Theres only a tiny scrape, which I let her clean and rinsed with saline. This happened yesterday. She’s okay but her beak is a little swollen looking near the cut and I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do to make her a little better? Thanks
