Is it liquid? Is it under the skin? I would let the little one float in some warmish water (based on brooder temperature - 80F would probably be okay unless it's less than 2 weeks old) for about 5 minutes and watch closely.
If it's very warm and red, it could be an infection. Also I don't think it's liquid
It could be an abrasion.
Those are my thoughts without a little duck foot to look at.
