Limping Duck

[GRacer3648]

Hello, I recently added a juvenile mallard duck into my flock of chickens, turkeys, geese, and some other ducks. My other drake and hen don't interact with my new ducks because they can be rather mean. The 2 new ones stay in the cooper at night with all of the other birds (except the ducks). Today I noticed that my mallard was limping. Is anyone familiar with this? Is there something I can do?

It depends on the severity of the limp it could just be a scratch on the foot or something more serious. Try looking first for any swelling or scratches to determine more of the source of injury.
