Broken wing?

[bahamh]

the other day we noticed 1 of our ducklings with their wing hanging down. S/he is the last to get feathers on the wings. Our adult male sometimes pecks at them so I'm not sure if it was him or something happened while they were in the yard any help would be great

Looks like the blood feathers are coming in and they get heavy and makes them droop their wings till the muscles get strong enough to support then they droop they rearrange then they droop again etc. They will eventually get the muscle strong enough to support them. Just make sure no one pulls any of those feathers out while they are growing in they bleed a lot.

You can support by using a good poultry vitamin and giving some extra protein in a natural form like dried meal worms. As a snack.

Thank you. I was worried since this didn't happen with the others. This is our first go with ducks so everything is new
