    Muscovy duck potential "angel wing"

    My name is Hayder. I do not own any birds now but we used to own chicken, ducks and pigeons when I was a boy/teen. Although it feels like a long time ago but they certainly left their impression and i always loved birds. I wanted to join this online community to get better education about...

    Slipped wing in 2 week old chick

    Hey guys, One of my Orpington chicks has a slipped wing. The primaries are overlapping the secondaries at rest on one of her wings. I've tried manually resetting it when I can, but they're so rambunctious at this age that it typically doesn't stay that way for long. I'm thinking it's a...

    Angel wing?

    First time duck owner and a couple of my ducks developed a wing/wings that stick out. First we thought it was just the weight of all the incoming feathers. Thought it couldn't be angel wing as when they would spread their wings out (flapping them) wing looked normal. Diet info: Fed duckling...

We have 6 ducklings, 5 weeks old. The 2 who have AW are both blue swedish. Wondering if anyone has had...

    Feather abnormality - should I intervene?

    Hi All. Thanks in advance for any advice or help. There’s a long and happy backstory to the little guy in the photos but the gist is he was on deaths door, I was able to get him healthy and return him to his exact mother and he’s living a wonderful life as a wild duck. But, I don’t have any...

    Duckling wing development and panting

    We recently rescued a couple of Pekin ducklings, and I have some concerns about their development. They came to us at two or three weeks old, and we have no idea how they'd been cared for or fed (they were purchased from a local farm supply by a young woman who wanted them as pets, but didn't...

    Is this Angel Wing?

    All 22 girls born 8/31 have wings like this. I thought it was feathers sprouting, but now I think it’s angel wing! And with a full time job and a baby, I know I can’t rehab them if that’s what this is. Any idea? I’m in NC on the TN border if that’s what it is and you want to help me find someone...

    Angel wing or something else?

    We have a small flock of Welsh Harlequin ducks. They range from two months to seven months old. One female (we think is around four months) in the last few days has a single feather on each wing tip that is pointing up. Upon closer inspection it appears that flight feather is growing faster than...

    Another Angel Wing query

    I started off with hens, but was given a couple of Indian Runner Ducks. I was then given another duckling which had been hatched in a school project, hoping it would be a female, and ( you guessed it ) it was another drake, which subsequently developed severe angel wing. I assumed this was...

My other three goslings aren’t having this issue “at least they aren’t yet.” The others are American Buff X Toulouse mixes, Tuesday is a Roman X...

    Hello, I’m new to BYC, and new to ducks, though have had rescue chickens in the past. I have 2 call ducklings, now 8 weeks. At 4 weeks one of them developed angel wing in both wings, the blood feathers stuck straight up and the wing wouldn’t fold under itself. I wrapped them for 4 days which...

    Angel wing issue in Plymouth Blue Rock chicks

    Hello! Just this past Friday (10th) we bought four new chicks to add to our newly build chicken coop. We just noticed that the two Plymouth Blue Rock chicks have wings that don’t lie flat to their bodies such as an angel wing that ducklings can get. I’m not sure if this is breed dependent or is...

    Beginning of angel wing or just developing feathers? Help please

    I know I ask a lot of questions, but does this look like angel wing on my little drake? Or is it just his feathers coming in? If it does look like that, what should we do? He's around 7 weeks old. Been fed Purina flock raiser since pretty much the beginning, some unmedicated chick starter at...

    Does my Ancona have angel wing?

    I've just noticed that my Ancona named Roadrunner's wings look like this, is this early angel wing? Celeste the Cayuga also has this on her left wing. We've fed them chick starter that may be high in protein so that could be the problem. They're 6 weeks old. Would normal human compression...

    Can a gosling with angel wing swim with his wing wrapped?

    Hello all, one of the goslings on our property has just started showing angel wing. If I wrap his wing to his body, is he still safe to wander and swim with the others? My husband is worried that he could drown.

    Preventing Angel Wings

    I’ve read some things about preventing angel wings by making sure ducklings are fed the correct amount of protein. I just pour feed into the bowl and let mine eat as they please. They’re a little over a week old. Am I suppose to feed them only a certain amount? Right now they’re eating crumbles...
