The Epsom salt water can cause watery poop and make him dehydrated. After you get the scab off post a picture so we can see what your looking at I have dug the core out with tweezers

Sorry I didn't see this, I have no internet in the garage so I didn't focus on this. I finished in both feet, I dug and used tweezers but I couldn't find anything? I got the scab off and their was a few yellow pieces.. I got in pretty deep but I really didn't find anything? He seems to be able to stand better but it did hurt him.. a lot.

If I did it wrong and he doesn't improve I'll take him to a vet, maybe next week once I can really see improvement? Or I could do it again and see if I could find anything, I watched a bunch of videos of how to do it but I literally found nothing like others have found, no matter where I dug or how deep it was.

Sometimes there isn’t anything most of the time there is. Fill that hole with antibiotic ointment and Wrap. Don’t let him be in water so bacteria doesn’t get inside look at the area again in a few days and change bandage. Be sure to post pics. When my Runner had bumble I did take her to the vet because there wasn’t a scab she was on antibiotics for 7 days before I opened the bumble I mashed around and the kernel( infection) popped out. Doesn’t always happen like that.

Alright, i'll get pictures tomorrow. So nothing being in his feet isn't a bad thing?

Hoping that everyone is doing well, and wishing everyone in the US a happy Thanksgiving tomorrow! I bought eggs for the first time since spring, funny little brown chicken eggs! I ate one for dinner. It wasn’t very filling. Tomorrow, I must bake with the little brown chicken eggs. The ducks spoiled me this summer!

I hoarded 3 duck eggs before my girls stopped laying a couple weeks ago. I used them today. No telling when we’ll have more. How’s Daphne doing?

I hope they were delicious! Daphne is doing decently well, thank you. No reproductive issues as she’s stopped laying for the season, but she is still dealing with 2 extra cranky sisters. I’m not sure if she’s molting, or if all of her missing feathers were pulled out! She’s still bright and happy (when not engaged in a duck fight), and is still the first to the food bowl and the “winter pool”. How’s your crew doing?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Cranky Muscovy seems to be the norm. I had to separate my Muscovy from the Runners an Buffs because of crankiness. Thankfully they are just about finished with their molt hoping they will settle down after. Bless her heart hope her and her sissy’s can begin to get along soon.

My first ever ducking hatched today and with it some time of black jelly like substance came out. Can any one tell me what it is?
