Limping Duck

I would also double check the bottom of his foot and make sure he doesn't have bumblefoot. It doesn't look like that is what is going on, but it is always good to double check.

I checked the bottom of the feet dont see anything unusual. What is bumble foot?

If you don't notice anything unusual, your ducks don't have it. It is an infection on the bottom of their feet, that tends to be caused by a wound, walking on hard surfaces, or poor living conditions. Usually you see scabs or a swollen nodule under the foot. It can cause them to limp sometimes, so I always look for it just in case. It looks like yours is just a leg injury.

This time of year (boys wanting to mate and girls not wanting to! Lol) I see more limping going on from trying to get away from each other. I noticed the bottom of his foot at the very end of the video, looked clean from a quick glance. I’d just keep an eye out for a couple days and make sure it doesn’t get worse. He’s a beauty!
