Is this bumblefoot?

Hello! My 8month female Pekin duck has slowly developed these callouses under her middle toes only. She isn't limping and hasn't changed how she walks. Please can someone tell me if this could be bumblefoot? Thanks in advance!

I don't think so. pekins are heavy so they develop calluses on their feet over time, especially if they have concrete in their pen. my duck had the same thing and it was just calluses. bumblefoot usually has an "eye" to the wound, like a small dot in the center of a swollen looking ball. from your pictures it looks like a hard callus and not an issue. if she starts walking weirdly or the area gets bigger, you have more of a reason for concerned.

Thank you so much! Their pen does have some concrete, but I will keep an eye on it! 🙏
