I'm new to raising ducks, I have 4 of them. 3 cayuga ducks and a welsh harlequin. They are about 6-7 weeks old now. They are still pretty downy but feathers are coming in. My welsh harlequins wing feathers are really right to her body and the cayugas are kind of sticking out and up. I am worried it might be angel wing? Is it normal for them to look this way when feathering in? The pics I got are terrible because my ducks do not like me. You can't see how they stick out a bit. I feed them brewers yeast in their feed for the extra niacin (they are eating organic chick starter.) and I've tried to feed them greens but they don't eat them? I don't know if I didn't cut it small enough or what but they seem really disinterested

When ducks are feathering out, their feathers can get a little whacky. I would not worry about it now :). If its still like this a couple weeks after they feather out it could be a diet thing. I heard angle wing is caused by too much protien in the diet. But as I said whacky feathers are normal at this age :)
