Hi it's me again with another question :) I think diane (my duck) may have bumble foot, I'm not sure. Theres nothing sharp in their pen and Jack's feet seem to be fine but his head feathers have started thinning out and his drake feather (the curly one in back) is missing. From what I read he may be molting but I'm not sure and have included pictures. Thanks for all your help in advance !

First pic looks like something going on there on the side is it a cut? My Oldest Runner drake lost his drake feather mid summer last year an has yet to get it back.
It doesnt look like a cut, there is no red, just dark, they had just gotten out of the bath tub when I took those pictures, that's why I was most worried bc they should've been clean once they got out and when I tried to clean her foot it wouldn't come off
 
She wont let me get a good one closer than what I have, if it is something what should I do about it? I picked up some Epsom salt bc I read somewhere to soak her feet, idk if that's right
 
Wrap her in a towel like a burrito so you can get a good look at it and get a good pic. Wrapping is the best way to keep them calm and work on them without being hit in the face with a wing and scratched up by nails.
