Hole in duckling's foot

[Ducktown]

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!

Just checking in to see how your bird is doing. Updates to these type of threads are quite useful for people in the future experiencing the same problem.
