Limping ducks - multiple people looking for help.

One of my baby mallards 3 weeks old jumped from my hand and fell to the carpet around 4 ft down. Now he won't put weight on that foot. No apparent damage, he's not screaming, I think it may just be pulled muscle or sprain. Any suggestions?

He's probably fine. It might just take a little while for it to stop hurting. Like if you accidentally land wrong on a foot, it hurts for a while then goes away.

Let the ducklings swim in warm water, warm water will help with soreness and stiffness and hopefully thats all thats wrong.And
