I accidentally stepped on my ducks foot like 3 days ago and at first I didn't see anything wrong then the day after he started limping and I thought I'll wait one more day to see if his foot heels and now he doesn't really walk and he doesn't step on his foot but his foot is like swollen it is warm when touch it he doesn't step on it at all I dont know if I broke his foot but I need help it is my first time owning ducks and I've tried looking online but I just need help on what I should do as to take him to the vet or let him heal I did add pictures and I really hope it helps

I will be the first to admit that I always overreact and take my birds to the vet when ANYTHING happens. So, that's what I would do. In the meantime, I would soak his foot in warm water and Epsom salts.

@Miss Lydia or @Isaac 0 will have better advice.

Hopefully just a bad bruise. Have you felt along the foot top and bottom for any bones broken?
Soaking in warm Epsom salt water is a very good idea. And rest. Make sure he can't be out trying to keep up with everyone even if you have to keep him in a pen. When we're hurt rest is one of the best ways to heal.
And of course if you don't begin to see improvement in a few days then I'd advise taking him to a vet.
