I keep forgetting to update this! I didn’t want to bother anyone with a ping but pretty soon after (1+ week) the spots slowly started getting less dark in colour & started shrinking. By week 2 it was more noticeably healing, colour was getting less black and closer to regular colours.
About now...
I can check the hardware stores next time I’m out, there IS a peavy mart I can check too! I’ll look for pellets though, thank you !
I get my duck food from a Starfra Feeds though,
Thank you for your help! I’ll make sure to update you as their feet get better (:
I love that your flock sounds a bit silly too haha, it seems there’s no avoiding some goofy duck / goose / chicken jenga
I’ll make sure to update this thread and maybe tag ya with the progress on their feet. I cleaned out their bedding just before having a large nap lol.
I do wish I could find some pine shavings, it sounds better. I’m either bad at using google or don’t have a great farm store yet as I haven’t...
I’m about 40 minutes outside the Peterborough area, in the “bush” haha.
But for real though, I wonder why they like it so much! They’re such menaces, they wouldn’t stop making holes as I was trying to add the walls lol

The ventilation does need to be fixed, I need better ventilation on their side of the duck house. It’s a bit hard to explain but essentially I converted a greenhouse to be their duck house / coop. It‘s currently sectioned off in 3 groups, the runner ducks...
It has gotten around and up to -10°c so far (inside the duck house) but where I am it gets a lot colder so it won’t be easier going forward either.
One of my other runners did / does have a bit of frostbite and he’s been inside since (zipper). It’s not a horrible case either but looks different...
Recently the humidity has been harder to control in my duck house than usual, and now my boys feet don’t look good.
I’m assuming the humidity + cold has done it, or helped do it ?
I don’t fully believe it’s bumble foot as some of these cut like things have a scaly / ridged sort of texture.
