Two ducks limping

[Pinguanddibdab]

Hello,
I have 4 female ducks, one male and two female geese. My khaki Campbell girl (squid) started limping a week ago and it has gotten quite a bit worse. Today I noticed that one of my magpie girls (Beelzebub) is also limping quite badly to the point where they both sit away from the flock.

Squid had a tiny bit of bumblefoot but after a soak it came straight off and looks fine.

Beelzebub has feathers missing on her neck from my drake mating with her.

Any clues what is causing this? I thought it could be my drake being rough because squid is very small.

They are currently in the bath with some vitamin solution. Should I seperate them from the flock?

I have attached a picture of them in the bath.

Thank you x

Could you post photos of their feet?

Could you post photos of their feet?

Yes of course. They have just gone to bed so will do it tomorrow.

From what I can see it's more their joints that might be injured as they feel pretty hot.

Any chance the geese are bullying, or trying to mount the ducks?

They never try and mount them but I know that if the ducks get a little too close to were the geese lay their eggs then they chase them a little. I haven't seen them hold the ducks down or bite them recently...although the geese do get angry when my drake tries to mate with the girls.
