Duck limping

[Hgc]

Yes I lock up sick or limping ducks in my “hospital room” if you can bring one duck in with her who is her best friend you can use a large dog crate or something you can also put her in a dog crate in the area of the other Ducks so she can see them if you can’t fit another duck in with her wherever your duck resting space is.
Did you Carefully feel up and down her leg for any hot spots ?
Is there any swelling anywhere?
Can you post a limping

He's locked up in the dog kennel. I have three who were sent together and two who are about 2 months older. The two older still aren't great friends with the new ones and I don't want to leave just one of the younger ones alone outside, so he may not get a friend. I did feel his leg and it didn't feel any different from the other. The video doesn't really show the limping I don't think, but I know for sure he was limping today, and he holds it up, more then usual.

So, I got home from work and went to go check on my boy, he seems worse. I gave him some frozen peas, medicated water and brewers yeast in his food.

If the others suggestions don’t resolve the issue try cleaning the feet twice a day with hydrogen peroxide.
The last two years a few of my birds have come down with some sort of skin infection that causes limping in the wetter months, it isn’t bumblefoot as it lacks the obvious bullseye but it causes the skin to swell and eventually thickening of the scales if it isn’t spotted immediately. I’m not sure the specific cause but it’s from walking on muck with a heavy bacteria load, basically its trench foot. It’s usually a good idea to move them to a new pasture “easier said than done though if you’re like me and the whole yard seems to be contaminated,” and sanitize their coop if needed.
Different birds seem to have different tolerances, some only manifest a limp when the swelling has already started, others start limping with no visible signs of any issue.

A few days to a week of cleaning the feet with hydrogen peroxide resolves the issue.

I did try to fill in the holes the ducks made with their beaks and I did throw straw down. My limping boy, Louie, spent his day in a crate. I don't know if it's just because he's sad or another issue, but he's not eating alot. He's drinking and he'll eat some peas and carrots or tomatoes when I give them to him, but I don't see him eat his pellets alot. The limp is still there, but alittle better. I put him in a pool he couldn't reach in yesterday for about an hour, then back to crate. I can try to move them, but they have to be blocked off. I have 4 standard hens and a rooster who are really mean to all three little ducks. I'll definitely try the peroxide, I can't get any durvett b medicine until at least Friday. He really wants to be with his friends but I think I'll keep him in another day.

Is there any chance the hens or rooster could have attacked him?

There is a chance, but I do keep them separated by chicken wire. Mostly it keeps them out, but a couple hens do jump over from time to time. I always chase them out. The rooster never hops over. I didn't even think of a bird attack injury. Usually the hens just chase them if they get the chance, but who knows if they managed to corner him.
