No, it's not poop. The cracked yellow stuff is their skin and it's rock hard.The yellow stuff is poop right? Or a part of what is concerning you? For the most part their feet look like duck feet to me otherwise. Maybe I should click on the photo to make it bigger? I could be missing something. LOL I need more coffee
That is definitely not bumblefoot! Wow. Hmmm! I have googled quite a bit and have found nothing yet.No, it's not poop. The cracked yellow stuff is their skin and it's rock hard.
Thanks for trying. I've been researching for the past 3 days and I've also come up with nothing which is why I decided to start this thread. Once again, thanks for trying to help. Hopefully someone will come along and know what it is.That is definitely not bumblefoot! Wow. Hmmm! I have googled quite a bit and have found nothing yet.
Do you think it's fungal? I know packed straw can really harbor fungal growth. I wonder of monistat or something might be useful if so?Makes me think some kind of infection. But it doesn't look like it's running, maybe try some kind of antibiotic salve like tripel antibiotic or neo sporin soak their lil feet good in some warm epsom salt water then pat dry and slather on the salve. do this in the eve. when you put them to bed so they hopefully aren't getting their feet wet and wash it off. and I don't know what your temps are in Minn. but even at 5 weeks they need to be in a warm draft free dry place.
I say it couldn't hurt to try some kind of fungal ointment. I think I'd take them off of the straw and put them on pine shaving, it's absorbs so much better and stays drier. of course with ducks it needs to be refreshed often. to keep it dry.Do you think it's fungal?
