How to diagnose/determine whether it's bumblefoot

[Mother-Hen-Michele]

I have a way ti hold my birds and look at the feet without putting them on their backs
I have a few that hate to be touched let alone picked up but they seem to settle the way I do it
I’ll try to get a video of me doing it as well as how I give medicine
I no longer need a second person to help me

Wow, I want to learn from you too! Ducks are very difficult to examine when they don't want to be.

I will get help to video as I do need both my hands for the bird
I’ll do it with an easy bird and a hard bird to show

Sprightly has the kickiest feets in the whole world, whenever I need to examine them. She'll kick so fast her feet are orange blurs

@New duck mommy 2021 teach me your wisdom!

If you really do have 5 with it you can choose to treat one first and wait on the others. It gets overwhelming otherwise

You can choose the one who cooperates as the first patient to build the skill for the others.

Once you are more confident it becomes easier.
