New rescue duck

[Quatie]

She is a very pretty girl. From your description it sounds small for a Swedish. Do you know about how old the is? My swedish were pretty small until about 3-4 months old. So many be she is still growing.

I hope everything goes well. If you haven't had swedish ducks before, mine are pretty chill ducks and very curious.

Introduced her to the flock this morning and there was a tense stand off for a minute then my duck Peep decided that was lame and wandered off to eat blueberries and they all started milling about

also checked her feet and saw these little areas and was concerned it might be a minor case of bumblefoot. Drew arrows to them in the foot pic. Please Excuse the duck poop she decided to step in right before we picked her up

I am glad the introduction is going well. Your flock is a lot more accepting than mine. They all look like happy ducks.

That looks like bumblefoot to me. It looks like the early stages of it.

@Isaac 0 would know better if it is really bumblefoot. If you get a chance, I would clean off her foot and take another photo.

To me her face and size reminds me of a silver welsh harlequin, but she doesn’t have black markings like some of the more white ones do.
Anyway good luck!! She’s very cute!!

I will start the epsom salt treatment today. I keep straw in the pen so it’s soft for their feet

keeping it clean will be tough since the ducks new favorite game is “let’s see how much water we can splash out of our pool, and see how much mud we can make”so may keep her inside a few days while treating her if you think that would be best.

Sadly, keeping her in on clean grounds for a few days won't be long enough. I would suggest you aim to figure out, how to keep their grounds in the coop less wet, and muddy to encourage healing of the current sores, and prevent future sores from developing.

So last night we did her first epsom salt bath treatment and the poor thing, all the bumps with scabs were just oozing blood and pus when we got her feet out of the water.squeezed a bit more out and dried them off, put some antibiotic cream on them and wrapped them.
She was good and mostly kept her bandages on overnight

this morning gave her another treatment and this time not nearly as much ooze and the bumps were more lose skin than hard lumps. Didn’t think to get pictures. But am hoping that is a good sign?

Yeah I am at work right now. At lunch I will go try to get a clearer picture of it. I thought it might be the early stages of it too so hopefully will be easy to knock out if it is
