I am a first time duck owner and have a white pekin duckling who is about a week and a half old and lately I've been noticing that its feet have large reddish blotches between the toes (which doesn't seem to bother him) and his feces have recently turned from a thick brownish to a liquidy white and green (sorry for the graphics). He has also been sneezing or something. It's like a small puff of air from his nostrils. I'm hoping that this is just something that happens as they grow from duckling to adult, but if it sounds like he has something wrong please help!
 
He's alone and they pretty much just look like the texture of his feet but reddish. His feet were recently peeling and as I understand it, that happens when they're young because their feet and legs grow so quickly so maybe that has something to do with it.
 
When raised alone ducklings often get respiratory infections. My buff baby had one. It comes from the stress. Take him to the vet if possible or google the correct medication
