Is that bumble foot? @casportpony @Miss Lydia @chickens really

 

[Jamerp duckman]

I'm not sure kinda odd affected up 15 ducks so far I raise 700 each year.

if you can wash the feet and get a better picture, the ankle looks very swollen though

 

[Miss Lydia]

What do you feed and are you adding any niacin to their diet. Pekins are know for niacin deficiency and to have that many lame sounds like they are lacking something in their diet. How old are the ducks and are there any other symptoms besides lameness?

 

[Jamerp duckman]

I feed them wheat, barley and supplement meant for ducks. No just sores.

 

[Miss Lydia]

The foot on the pic didn’t look like any bumble did you wash the foot off better so we can get a good look? But I just don’t think 15 Pekin ducks would have bumble an go lame I am thinking a niacin deficiency can you show us the duck supplement your using? And if you in the USA can you get to a TSC and pick up liquid BComplex?

Gout?

 

[Miss Lydia]

15 ducks with gout? I guess anything is possible!

I don't know, but the joint looks inflamed and it doesn't necessarily look like bumble and gout is related to diet and pekins are prone to it I'm not convinced myself honestly, but it was the first thing that came to mind
