Angel Wing Question

[Miss Lydia]

I have an now I call it duck tape. I'd like to see this tape job if you don't mind.

Sure, needs to quit raining first! LOL I checked on them early this morning and both doing very well like nothing was wrong. Tape job still holding, it was the real meal deal original Duck Tape brand. Maybe that's why? How long you think I should keep them taped?

Not more than a few days then unwrap and see how they are doing, can they still use their muscles to adjust? That's what's important for holding their wings in normal position is getting those muscles strong.

Yes, I did just as the young girl did in her video. Wrapped the tip to hold it up into place and the ducklings can still stand up straight and flap their little wings just fine, then they drop them down into place. If you didn't notice the tape, you wouldn't even know there was an issue. They seem and act way better then they did with the tips hanging to the ground.

Good that's the important part working those muscles.

Yes I agree, that whole body wrap to hold the whole wing tight in place I didn't think was a very good way to do it, they need to move their wings.

Isaac 0, do you also think I made the right decision in wrapping them ?

As long as it's taken off after a few days, and the wings are able to get exercised, If you prolong the use of the bandage it may make it worse. For example, some people brace healthy tree's for no apparent reason, these tree's tend to develop poor root systems because they have nothing to "stress" their roots, the same thing would be applied if you had your neck braced up for three months, if you get my point.

Yes I am picking up on what you are laying down. So in a few days when I do take it off, give it 24 hours off and see what happens and re-wrap if they still want to hang?

That's what I'd do.
