New Member - Duck Wing Issue?

[kozifarm]

Hello, all! I’m new here but I’ve been a longtime lurker without an account. But finally made an account because I am new to ducks and need some opinions.

I have four 8 week old Pekins (pretty sure they’re jumbo ) and one of them is struggling to keep her wings tucked in. When she walks, her wings kind of fall and she’s constantly pulling them up and tucking them, but they just fall again. Is this something they grow out of? I’m currently feeding Purina Flock Raiser with supplemented Nutritional Yeast powder in their food for extra Niacin. I feel like I noticed this with a different duck and he grew out of it. This isn’t the start of angel wing, is it? Thoughts?

TIA!

Welcome to BYC. I'm not a duck lady but we have several members who are. One should Be along any minute.

Hello, and welcome to BYC. I would guess that her wings are filled with blood/pin/developing feathers. Once the feathers mature, they will be lighter and it will be easier for her to pull her wings up.
