This is its foot it’s seems to be very healthy other than this foot

Then very good possibility it’s a slipped tendon.

You might try this procedure until you can get the duckling to the vet if that’s the option you take. Sometimes you can feel along the back of the leg and find the tendon that’s slipped and put it back in place then wrap. Problem is if the leg is fused in place that maybe hard to do. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...ith-a-slipped-tendon-one-chick’s-story.69353/
