    Help my duck landed funny and is now limping

    My drake (call duck) was flying and had a funny landing and he isn't using his leg. I can't see anything on the foot (he isn't letting me see) and he's refusing to put any weight on it, so I assume its an internal injury. He will run-limp to catch up if I'm too far away otherwise it's just...

    Anyone know what breed she is?

    I got three random 'bantom chicken eggs' from a farm to hatch and 2 of them look normal but 1 looks weirdly like a quail chick lol.
