I have a squeeker that I noticed has webbed feet. What causes this? Is this bird automaticly a cull?

No not a cull, but I won't breed out them either as it will take over, it gets worse to even club feet if you let it take over.

You can normally cut the web with scissors when you put the band on.
Usually caused from too much inbreeding, just separate the pair.

On young birds the bleed stops right away, do nothing just put them back in the box. The birds that had wed feet will be fine and they don't throw web feet if you don't continue inbreeding/linebreeding them in you pool. They will perform fine in the air and if you worry about it just don't put them back in the breeding pin.
It will show it in birds with a tight gene pool. Does not hurt the bird.

Fly them but don't breed them, it has nothing to do with inbreeding, it is rec which means if they carry it they will show it when breed with like, related or not.
Ty, probably from some shmoe color breeder crossbreeding a duck for the Mallard Wing would be my best guess

I never got any out of that line, doesn't mean it wasn't there either though, fly them and quit worrying about it.
