One of my ducks wasn’t walking this morning so I separated her and examined her feet, this one has something growing out of the toe, and the other one I think is fine. I can’t afford to take her to a vet, is there anything aside from temporary isolation(to let her recover) that I can do for her?

That actually looks like an extra toe nail. Interesting.
Can you take a picture of the bottom of the foot please.
 
This is the underside of the foot. It’s been raining constantly for a few days

I haven't ever seen something like this. Is it hard? could something have been shoved under her skin. I agree a nice warm soak may help with inflammation but whatever it is must be really bothering her for her not to want to walk.
 
I haven’t tried soaking it yet, and she was walking fine yesterday. I’ll let her soak her feet as soon as I’m able
