My muscovy ducklings wings are dropping? Help!

I am having a similar problem with a three month old drake. His wings practically drag against the ground and get caught in his legs as he moves. I am hoping he'll be able to hold them up soon as he looks unhappy about the whole thing.


Lugh I think I'd some how wrap him with his wings in natural position I've never seen one carry it's wings quite like that. they are full of blood and hard to hold in right position but that doesn't even look normal for when blood feathers coming in.
 
Going Quackers where did you get that picture? Wow, that looks exactly like my duck that has Angel wing. She came to us with it when we had adopted her. But boy that sure looks like her.

Gosh, just some random google search i have it handy to show people what AW is there is a lot of confusion on what exactly it is. Have you been able to correct it at all? a good time to try is during a molt when new feathers are returned, sometimes wrapping later on can help.
 
She had angel wing well before I got her. She was a duck someone bought it a fair kept her in the house, and never bothered to treat the angel wing. By the time she was a-year-old, they got tired of her and dumped her at the shelter which is when I got her. I never felt the need to try to correct it. It doesn't cause her any issues at all that I am aware of and I was under the impression that it wasn't going to be beneficial for me to even try. But I would swear that is my duck. LOL I really did think it was her when I first looked at the picture.
