Angel wing while swimming?

[morg-dug]

Hello! I’m a first time duck owner and my 2 are 8 weeks old. My mallard looks like her wings stick out but only while swimming. They appear to be fine or only stick out a little when in their coop. Is this an angel wing issue?

(They regularly get niacin added to their food)

Rooster Booster Poultry Cell is a great multivitamin supplement to add to your bird’s water source or mix into the feed to help correct many nutritional deficiencies.

Ok! I got my girl wrapped up according to the video! The video said 24 hours, but I think I’m going to shoot for a little more. Is 48 hours too much?

48 is fine, just keep her out of water while wrapped and be sure to let us know with an update when you remove the wrap.

So she got one of them off immediately I re-applied it the next day and then took them both off this morning. She looks much better now! Thank you!

I'd say she look a lot better way to get it done.

Merry Christmas!!
