8 week old duckling’s flight wings growing in odd angle...

[Breemae123]

I am not sure if this is normal or not since these are my first ducklings. I’ve heard about something called’ ‘angel wings’ where the wings don’t grow in right.

1. Is this normally how they look when they grow in? 2. Is there something I should do to help him? 3. Is there a way to prevent this if it’s not normal?

Yup, angel wings it is.

It’s a silpped or crooked wing.but I’m not 100% Sure.

Needs to be wrapped ASAP usually only takes 3-5 days to correct.

You will most likely need to change the diet. What are you feeding them currently?

You could try wrapping the wings, and along with a change in diet that should improve things

I have a young call duck who is developing this. Can someone tell what's best to wrap her wings with?

From what I’ve read - vet wrap. It’s cheap, too.
