One leg noticeably larger than the other

[RJKnott]

So my male pekin, Howard, I took him in from a family that had way too many males. He was not the lowest rung on the ladder, but second to lowest. He has always has his left leg noticeably larger than his right. No injury that I can tell, it’s not hot to the touch. He occasionally limps a bit but not always. No bumblefoot

Is there anything I should be looking for? He seems happy. Will get in the pool and swim. He’ll enjoy his time with the ladies

Just want to make sure there isn’t anything life-threateningly wrong

Is the leg on the left looking at the picture a bit swollen? It may just be his weight. Howard is a jumbo isn't he? On days he is limping you could do Epsom salt soaks and see if that helps. That's a lot of weight on those legs. How old is Howard always a chance of arthritis as they get older too. Then there is taking him to a vet for examine and meloxicam for pain and inflammation.

Unless there are indications that there is some unnatural swelling, or signs of discomfort I wouldn't be concerned.
Most creatures have different thickness limbs much like people are not perfectly balanced in proportion.
Just about every chicken and duck I've known have different diameter limbs.

He’s only a year at most according to who I got him from. And yes he is definitely a jumbo

That’s how his legs were when I got him. One significantly larger than the other
