Baby duck feet

[KaitlynP]

We recently got 2 female baby ducks and I noticed one of them is having problems opening her foot all the way. She doesn't seem to be in any pain and she can walk well enough. Anyone know what this could be and if it could cause her any problems? What should I do? Does this look like a broken toe??

what do you mean by opening her foot?

I think she means it’s curled inward a bit

May I please see a better picture of the right foot?

if its curled, can you uncurl it, and tape the feet with masking tape, or painters tape (nothing super sticky, please). it should correct it.

That’s what’s I always do. The only poultry I’ve found it doesn’t work on is quail, due to their small feet
