Angel wing in ducks, & how we wrap to mend it - Pictorial

[Magickbird]

Thanks for posting this info. We wrapped our 7wk old Ancona, Collette, this evening and it was easier than we thought it would be but we could not have done it without the pictures and instructions.

Collette managed to remove her wrap. We will try again in the morning. Gives new meaning to the term "duck" tape. Lol.

Thanks for the thoughts! I got it wrapped, but phew that was exhausting!!! Apparently she liked her wing like that! I'll post pics in a bit of my tape job.

I just noticed that my little girls wing feathers seem to be sticking out both sides she will be 5 weeks old on Thursday. She still has a lot of the fluff left her big girl feathers just started in the past week here some pic. Is this something that needs to be wrapped?

I would give it several more days . . . I recall that when my ducks were young, there were some funky-feather days.

My boy is 5 weeks tomorrow. I understand that angel wing flicks out, but on one side of him his wings stick up. I can't tell if it is angel wing or not. I would love any advice

When he waddles around it hangs down significantly lower then the opposite wing.

This is when he sits down it pokes up
