Ducklings

[Animalfan]

Hi, my silver Appleyard ducklings (about 2 weeks old) feet are kind of turning grey. When we first got them they had orange feet And slowly more grey is appearing in splotches all over there feet. It does not seem to bother them and when I touch there feet they don’t flinch at all so I dont think it’s hurting them. Does anyone know what it is?

The feet look fine to me. I don't have Apple Silveryards but looking at some pictures, I have seen some with similar looking feet. I think your sweet webbies are fine.

My Swedish blues' feet have gone from black to blotchy gray too. I don't particularly like it, but I assumed that coloration changes were normal.

Oh okay thanks! I’am a new duck mom so I was scared that I was doing something wrong.

It does look a little odd, but I'm sure they'll be fine, I've had lots of ducks with weird skin pigmentation.
