Is this Bumblefoot? Please Help!

Do a tablespoon

So my male Pekin duck (Aflac) he has always been healthy and big. Yesterday after I was treating Holly's foot. I gave Aflac some belly rubs (he loves them.) I noticed that he had some dark green spot on his beak. I was wondering if it was normal? I've been feeding them 16% layer pellets that I got from Tractor Supply. Here are some pictures.

If it’s not causing issues I would keep an eye on it to see if it gets bigger or goes away. Maybe it’s just dirt or grass stains in imperfections on his bill.

Hey, so Holly (duck with toe issue) was doing well. But yesterday I had an family emergency and wasn't able to soak her foot in the Epsom salt water for 20 minutes. Today, I did it again but her toe infection looks different. Instead of the bumps being more together. There are cracks between them. The bumps also seemed flattened. Is it a good sign? That the infection is going away and becoming smaller? Is it bad, as an result of not being able to soak it? If its getting better, should I still soak it? 2 days ago, she seemed completely fine with the soak and she was just relaxed. But today she seemed to be in pain. I think its because of the cracks between the bumps so its getting under the bumps and causing pain. Please help.

Can you post pics? Think you need to back off the soaking because it seems too dry now. Have you been putting on ointment?

Yes now that I think of it, it did seem very dry. Do you think human lotion would help on the toe? Or would there be too many chemicals in the lotion? I'll send pics tomorrow.

I would continue with the ointment. That has enough moisture in it. Lotion is full of stuff that can cause it to get worse since it has no antibiotic like the ointment you’re using

Ok, thanks. So is the infection drying out a good sign? Does it mean that it's not affecting the time as much? I know the ducks been walking around a lot better

Yes that’s a good sign. I would so soaks less often. Once a week.
