Hey all!
My drake Campbell has what look like callouses on this feet. I've posted the photo below. Should I be soaking him in Epsom salt? Are these even anything to worry about or just normal wear and tear? I dont want to put him through a unnecessary treatment.
Thank you!

I am no expert on Bumblefoot but it looks like it’s just a small tare in the foot skin. Maybe put some triple antibiotic ointment on with without pain relief for a few days just to make sure it doesn’t turn into Bumblefoot. I don’t think that he needs soaks but is would wait for someone with a bit more experience like @Miss Lydia to chime in to be sure.
 
Is your duck limping? I don’t see actual bumble foot if there is a cut on the foot though bumble can show up so clean an treat.

Not limp, quiet opposite. Poor boy had to go in time out for harassing the ladies too much 🤣.. I'll keep an eye on it and apply some ointment just to be safe.
 
I don't see much either besides a scratch.
