    Weird thing on my ducks feet!!

    I think it was ammonia burns from poo. Once they went to free range it cleared up. Then I have 6 others now and one is starting so I put them out! If it is not treated can turn into bumble.

    Trimethroprim. I also found pappillomatosis and it seems like it could be that but I am having a hard time finding what to treat viral infection with for ducks.

    Goose/Duck House Essentials?

    I am thinking one house for geese and then a house witht a small opening for the ducks in case they need to get away from the geese. They are brooding together and when I had them separated all they did was cry.

    Orange Calluses on duckling feet.

    The ducks were horrible and it spread so fast. Glad they are doing much better now. Surprisingly with how common it is this did NOT come up in my readings about raising fowl. Now we know to always be checking.

    Orange Calluses on duckling feet.

    Back together it is! Not a peep out of them! Thanks again. I will keep updated on their Bumblefoot and try to post progress photos so others can use it as a reference if needed. The vet gave them trimethoprim.

    Orange Calluses on duckling feet.

    Someone mentioned they will start to beat up on the ducks. They also do not have Bumblefoot as bad. It is just starting on their back pad so I thought it may help to stop the spread and also keep them cleaner with less birds in each one. I do feel bad as they have not stopped chirping.

    Orange Calluses on duckling feet.

    Got the new brooders set up. Also switched up the bedding to a finer shaving. Thank you for all your help everyone! They are not happy about being separated but we just want them better as soon as possibly. FYI we have checked all of our chickens and they seem clear from Bumblefoot.
