Drop wing?
Does this look like drop wing or the beginning of angel wing to anyone? My ducks are coming up on five weeks so I just want to catch it as soon as possible if so! She will get her wings tucked up more tightly some times but hers definitely are much more “dropped” than her sisters. She is also...- DarklingDucks

Does my Pekin duckling have angel wing?
I noticed this one wing is growing feathers that seem to point away from the body. I'm really new to ducks with my only previous experience is having read Dave Holderread's book. I just want to know if I should treat this immediately or if this is normal during growth. -
Angel wing in turkey poult?
First time turkey mom! I was curious if this is angel wing or a normal part of growing? I was told it was angel wing and then told turkeys don't get angel wing and it was normal. I feed the gamebird starter which is 30% protein, so seeing angel wing is caused by high protein diet I need to know...- caseyahall

Is this potential angel wing?
So I recently switched my goslings over to waterfowl feed instead of all flock raiser. But looking at my gosling wings I’m a little worried about angel wing with the change in protein content. I cannot tell if it is just the way his feathers are laying or if he is starting to develop angel wing. -

New to geese: questions and concerns!
Hi everyone! I just acquired two Sebastopol goslings and I have a few questions. I’m pretty sure they’re mixed. They’re not breed standard, but they’re just pets so that really isn’t an issue.

Question about slipped primaries?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, it’s not really an emergency or illness so I wasn’t sure where else to ask. I have a pullet and cockerel that both have slipped primaries.

Only 1 duckling with angel wing?
I’m a bit mad at myself for not noticing sooner, but one of my ducklings (6.5 weeks) appears to have angel wing in his left wing. I’m going to start treatment and get him wrapped up soon, but I’m wondering why he’s the only one who has it? The wings of his other 9 siblings all look lovely and...- KathiQuacks

Is Angel Wing Painful for Ducks?
I have read that angel wing is a purely cosmetic issue for ducks, and that other than rendering them unable to fly it causes no health risk. Other sources imply that the worse the case is the more likely it is to be painful for the duck. Is there any evidence to support either of those claims?- dublinducks

Vet wants me to reduce protein below 14% for angel wing
I took my Ancona duck to an avian vet for angel wing. To my surprise, instead of wrapping the wing, he suggested cutting protein by some unspecified amount, and told me to get another appointment if it gets worse. I told him I am already using a 14% protein, feed(Mazuri waterfowl maintenance)...- RidiculousName

Can Ducks Swim With Wrapped Wings?
I have a six week old duckling that has angel wing. I've been treating her by wrapping her wings close to her body with vetrap and a chicken harness. I have heard this can put her at a risk of drowning, so I changed my block's run so that it only has water shallow enough for them to stand in...- RidiculousName

I posted on the duck forum first, but was advised to post here. I have an exactly six week old ancona duckling that I think may have angel wing. I got three others at the same time, and fed them the same, and they do not appear to have the same issue. Is this angel wing? Should I try and treat...- RidiculousName

Is this the beginning of angel wing?
Hi all. I have a 5 week old Blue Swedish who has some wing feathers that appear to be sprawling outward. Is this angel wing? I haven't had a duck with angel wing before so I'm not really sure if it is angel wing or just abnormal feather growth. Whatever it is, it seems to be more noticeable in...- Poultry Whisperer

Angel Wing questions for an 11 week old goose…
