I have a brand new hatchling whos feet do not look right. I have hatched many ducks and know what their feet should look like and this ducklings feet are not formed correct. They are turned in and formed like the shape of the shell. Can anyone help me or give me any advice!!
 
Thank you for all the help it was greatly appreciated. Unfortunately the little one died in the night :( god bless little ducky
 
Even if he was to survive he would be permently crippled, he wouldnt be able to walk so he would have to be confined to one place. Breeding it would not be possible, plus you wouldn't want to breed him could cause the young ones same issues or similar issues. He or she would be a house pet becuase it wouldn't be able to survive outside.

Causes could be to much inbreeding and if that's not the case then It could be incubator. Not even turning, etc.

could be inhertiated but that would be the very least of my guess.
