Call duckling has red on feet

[FunnyfarmMidwest]

Lately I’ve been having some trouble with this little duckling. It’s been doing well despite and it runs around happy with the others. This is the little butterscotch call duckling described in the thread “call duck pen ideas”. I really have no idea what this could be and am quite concerned. It’s not acting different and it still runs around and is very active. These weren’t here this morning and I’m baffled. I did change their bedding this morning to a kind I’ve never used before but the others don’t have this. She/he’s a week old and very precious to me. Any help is appreciated. @Miss Lydia or @Isaac 0 can you be of assistance? Thanks.

I will say that I’ve had seen the two other ducklings picking at its feet and I’m worried it might be the cause of this. Should I separate the little one?

@casportpony do you know what a possible cause of this might be? Thanks

Interesting, I haven't seen that before. If mine I would keep an eye on it.

Thank you. I’m at a loss myself as to what it is. It doesn’t seem to affect the little one but looks quite concerning and appeared quick.

I would mabye separate them for a couple of day and see if it get any better.
I am no expert by any means so don't take this to seriously

Thanks I think that sounds like a good idea. I might try that.

Place so they can still see each other and put some triple antibiotic or neo on its little red feet. Maybe even another baby in with it?

Thanks for the help. I’m thinking I’ll do this tonight. I don’t want to stress it out more than it has to be. I’ll defiantly put some antibiotic. Do you have any ideas as to what the red might be？

No unless like you said they have been pecking at his feet. Being so tiny they probably think he’s wind up toy! Just kidding but that’s what it reminded me of when it was running around yesterday
