Flaking skin on feet

[Aphrael]

My daughter has two ducklings and the webbing on their feet is flaking skin a little bit. It isn't a whole lot just enough for her to notice it. Is this normal? Do ducklings normally shed some skin from their feet as they grow, or is this something I should be concerned about?

 

[DuckLady]

Yup, perfectly normal part of the skin growth. It will stop when they are almost full grown.

I had the same thing with my ducklings. I was worried but it went away when they grew up.

My duck still gets flaky feet sometimes after her bath. Are lotions good for them?

 

[Aphrael]

Good to hear. She'll be relieved when I tell her. Thanks so much for your replies.

Sometimes I rub completely in very light layer of petroleum jelly on their legs and feet.

I know I have some of that around! Thanks for the tip
