I noticed a while back that one of the duckling's somehow injured its foot and now there's a hole in it.

It's healed completely and it doesn't seem to bother the duckling, but will it bother the duck later on? Will it get smaller eventually? I guess it should, not the size itself but the foot size ratio.

Not niacin deficiency, all the 7 ducklings are healthy and well fed. I guess it was the straw in the bedding or something.

One of my ducks has a small hole in her webbing as well. She has had it since she was a duckling and she is now over three years old. The size has not changed and it doesn’t bother her.
 
I don't see how it'll pose that much of a problem to her.
 
Hi, there! :frow
