Bumblefoot?

[SuburbanDuckLady]

Hi! I’m a relatively new duck owner - had them
for just over a year. I’ve been trying to be diligent about checking my ducks feet, at least on the ones that I can catch. My Rouen hen has what I previously thought was a callous but now I’m wondering if it’s bumblefoot. Can’t anyone help me identify this area on her footpad? She is a little over a year old and isn’t behaving any differently or limping but I can’t help but be concerned. What is the best course of treatment if it is bumblefoot?

It looks like bumblefoot but it's easy to treat. first,clean and soak the foot for about 20 minutes in warm epsom salt water to see better.

First, I am not a duck owner, but that is bumblefoot. Others may chime in, but here is an article from BYC:

Thank you! I am going to get her treatment started, at least until I can get her to a vet. I am very nervous and would like my vet to help me with this since it's my first time to deal with it.
