Okay. I have 5 ducks. They are Magpies. Billie (the weakling of the group) just started limping. She won't put it down on the ground and when she does she limps. I have tried to check it. I don't see any thorns or anything like that. I have noticed that her foot joint is super swollen. I feel so bad. WHAT DO I DO?!
 
How old are they, and are you providing vitamin supplementation ?
Um no. I'm a simple farmer I have never gave supplements to any of my animals. They are 7 months old I think. Should I be giving them supplements?
 
Could you catch her, inspect the leg closely for swelling, warm spots, ensure each joint bends properly, and look for discoloration, or lesions/scabs like Bumblefoot underneath her foot pads? A picture of the swelled part, and a video of her limp would be helpful.

As of now. Move her to a soft padded area, where she can't further injure the leg.

Ok! Its night time here. I just put them away. Tomorrow I will upload a picture.😁
