They didn’t like their house at first, but he seems to like it. If he goes in, the other duck will follow. If they wanna be in there I let them because if there’s anything outside, they‘ll be smart enough to go in (outside the coop in general)

Are you able to record a video of your duck showing the symptoms?
You can upload the video to YouTube (and some other platforms) and then embed it here.
Being unable to preen sounds more like a neck issue than a leg issue.

Bit blurry, but you can see it standing strangely and the other duck watching it (or maybe me)

Good news: it didn’t do it again today. Bad news (is it really bad news?): I wasn’t able to show you what it looks like

link to vid. It started doing it again for no reason!

It decided it wanted to go down there again, but when I blocked its path, it decided it was more comfortable

So sad, I hope that someone on here can help you with its situation. It's a beautiful duck!

He seems to try scratching himself, but he can’t lift his leg up. He can do it in water. Or maybe it hurts because he
lifts one leg and stands on the other, switching back and forth.

• Exercise and being out in the open is very important! - Ducklings must run to train their muscles. They must also be allowed to hunt for insects. Let some potato- or apple-peels go "bad" outside to attract fruit-flies. All of my ducklings were great fly-hunters.

they knocked a carpenter bee out of the air today! It was flying by and one duck pecked at it so it fell, then they both ate it! They have started to go for some flies, but they seem to like bees better XD
