Hi,
Can anyone identify this please?

Doesn't quite look like bumblefoot to me, looks like dirty calluses or ammonia burns.

Thank you. I've just got them this morning. I didn't check their feet. Do you know how I should treat them my any chance please? They are currently having a warm (second) bath. They were very muddy when I brought them in so the first one only took the thick off xxx

Giving your ducks open access to water to keep themselves clean is the most important action

Warm foot baths -- I use epsom salt footbaths -- is good: you will hasten the cleaning up. Don't let your ducks drink the epsom salt water, though!

When I have to soak feet in Epsom salt water I use a bucket and put the warm Epsom saltwater in it then put the ducks down into it feet first both feet even if it's just one that needs soaking. then I just hold onto it while it's having the foot soak.

Thank you @ruthhope. I didn't do the Epsom salts tonight because I had just got them out of the bath. They had been in almost 1 hour. I gave them 2 baths. I'll soak them tomorrow when I've contracted a foot spa for 6 xxx

I feel sorry for them. Sore feet. Bald patches. They are dirty and smelly. Please don't get me wrong I KNOW they are ducks, but when I look at the ones I had since they were 9 days old, that some of you know I have been anxious about, and then these I've had for 9 hours well the difference is clear. And I'm not wanting to knock the guy because he was lovely and has hundreds to look after. I'm thankful I have them now so we can take care of them and while I don't have a farm I will give them everything I have to give them the best life possible. I want to make the clean and healthy and happy. They weigh over 200gs less than my lightest but are supposed to be 4 weeks older. I'm sorry for my emotional blurb. I'm sure as Mamma and Dadda Ducks you can understand xxx
