How to diagnose/determine whether it's bumblefoot

[New duck mommy 2021]

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

Thank you. I have 5 males who I'm curious about, so its not bad. They're just squeamish but I think I will try to give them a once over to set my mind at ease.

This is a relief to know at least a little bit, so thank you. Maybe im just being paranoid since they all have that. Some differ in size, though. Would that affect it? They are different Breeds

If some look larger, I'd definitely check them out-
I can see my girl's heels from behind but they're both equal in size, pretty small. If there's any big or very rounded bumps it's worth investigating
If you do find any bumbles, photos would be helpful, @Miss Lydia is pretty knowledgeable in treatments!

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.
