Heres some more. The second image shows that the duckling does have a bizzarely wide gait to accommodate his not walking on his feet

"f the tendons are slipped in both legs, the bird will stand & walk hunched down / squatting on its hocks ("elbows"), and may use its wings for balance."

Definitely seems to be the culprit

From other threads I've seen, compared with those pictures, I'm thinking it's likely slipped tendons

If you feel down the backs of the legs, does it feel flat? Can you locate the tendons?

Is a vet an option?

Does it feel the same as your other ducklings legs? I know the swelling will make it hard to tell

That’s what you need to do is compare this one’s legs to one of the other duckling. Can the legs be straightened?
