ok here is my scenario that makes me feel angel wing must be genetic.
I have Muscovy ducks 2 drakes 5 hens. one drake has angel wing. the other does not. no hens have it. After reading some stuff I had decided that angel wing was dietary or at least dietary stimulated with genetic predisposition. SO i let the angel wing drake stay and breed. I sold most of the ducklings (which i now feel bad about) but kept 3 ducklings.....they have been free range literally since day one. raised by mama. and fed only one time a day (2 times first 3-4 weeks) a 19% starter with all the other ducks. Yet 2 of the 3 have developed angel wing and there is no way they have been over fed....??????????
