Yes Genny

I'm "very" concerned about my white duck. Her bill has turned very pale. It used to be yellow and it's nearly white now. She was eating out of an old cast iron pan and we wondered if she was getting iron form that.Although the pan stayed dry. Has anyone seen this before? What would cause that? Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure about the beak, I don't think it sounds like anything that bad, but I use to have the same kind of pan my duck ate out of and she was fine so I don't think it's the pan or anything...

luv"my"duck...don't worry about over iron because the iron would have to be heated and cook the food for the contents to be too full of iron...I know this only because my husband is a personal trainer and dietition,and we were stunned to learn that if you "cook" food in a iron pot that you would consume a substantial source of iron..in fact they advise this to vegetarians!!
anyways, I'm sure that your duck doesn't have too much....especilly if the pot isn't heated... good luck

I don't know how fast it effects ducks, but one way to tell a chickens level of egg production is to monitor how fast the color drains from her legs, beak, vent etc. They lose minerals as they produce yolk. Maybe your duck is a great egg producer. A little vitamin supplement might help bring a little color back.

I have an issue with figuring out if one of my ducks is a male or female. We kind of "figured out" what the other four were by seeing them in the act of their mating process (which is hilarious by the way), so we know that we have 2 males, 2 females, and a mystery. Donald might actually be Donna! I think he's a she because he/she has the louder "quack" compared to the drake's typical raspy one, a smaller head than the other pekin duck (Aflac), and no curly tail feathers, and Donald's beak is a paler color of orange than Aflac's brighter orange beak. But...the ducks have started to lay eggs, and there are only 2 fresh eggs every morning. If we had 3 hens, wouldn't there be 3 new eggs everyday? Some other ways to tell would be helpful. We'll probably still call him Donald anyway, lol!
