Orange Calluses on duckling feet.

I would get them in a bigger brooder as soon as possible, so the waste/waster isn't so focused on a certain area, clean their bedding as much as possible so it's dry, you could also make a drip catcher under the waterer to help with that too. Like this-

Where did you get these ducklings from ?

Tractor supply 2 weeks ago. I did not notice it until last night when we took them out of the bath from swimming.

We are buying some large pools today and I have an idea for the drip catcher. I also bought some of the finer pine shavings. The vet said about 5-7 days we should see improvement. Fingers crossed we nip this in the butt!

No telling what those poor ducklings were on at TSC ammonia in the shavings can cause problems too.

Yea we tried finding them locally but no one breeds them. I have heard some bad things about TSC and their birds. The employees just don’t know. Apparently I did not either. Hoping we get this taken care of and know for the future. Vet also says to keep them off of ground outside for now to keep their feet clean. We love our babies so much!

 

[Miss Lydia]

I know you do and I’m sure with treatment they’ll heal fine. Please keep us updated.

Got the new brooders set up. Also switched up the bedding to a finer shaving. Thank you for all your help everyone! They are not happy about being separated but we just want them better as soon as possibly. FYI we have checked all of our chickens and they seem clear from Bumblefoot.

I have had a few chicken that have had bumble an one duck and none of my other birds have caught it from them.

That brooder looks good. Why did you take your goslings out?
