Is this bumblefoot? Looks like he's getting a few things wrong with him all at once

Is it hard?

Is it hard?

Yeah, and curiously he seems to have a similar looking lump on his other foot too. That can't be normal, right?

It could be a calais, I have had a lot of ducks have that and cut it open, but there would be no bumble Colonel.

UPDATE:

I went to that veterinary store and he thinks he has a vitamin deficiency and gave me a concentrated bottle of vitamins to dissolve in his water. He says he should be better in 4-5 days. Fingers crossed.

Yay!!

No improvements yet. He's still eating and drinking very little but over the past day he's started looking like he's crying under both eyes. He also sounds like he struggles to breathe when I put my hand close to him (i.e. he gets nervous and breathes more heavily).

Any ideas if this is a new issue?

I still think Aspergillosis. The struggle to breathe, watery eyes, can’t walk, etc. match up to my case. Is he still not walking? I think a vet is the best option.

I think I'm just going to put him down. He doesn't seem to be getting any better. There isn't really a vet nearby and he doesn't really compliment the flock. I already have far too many drakes and I have eggs in the incubator and the goose sitting on her nest. It's sad but the most rational option.
