Hi all, Thank you for all of the support on my last thread. I have some photos of his feet and I believe he has bumblefoot, but I have not seen it like this before. I am wondering you guys believe i should cut off the dead tissue or leave it be. Thank you!

I have a jumbo pekin duck who is 1 month old and isn't feeling well. We have 29 ducks in total (jumbo pekins, khaki campbells, cayugas). When we returned home on Sunday night, one of the jumbo's was unable to walk. She/he will swim in the pond if I bring her to it, but when I went back to check...
