Angel Wing?

[Jonny901]

I'm a new duck-keeper and I have 7, 5 week old ducklings. Now they're starting to get adult feathers, one appears to be growing a wing at an angle. Is this angel wing? And if so, what should I do?

It looks like it might be. You would want to wrap it. Some use vet wrap and some use socks. There are some threads about it and some recent ones too.

Catch it now and usually with in the week it's taken care of.

Possibly or they are just holding the wing out because the wing feathers are prickly.. wait a bit longer before treatment because the feathers need to grow out a bit more.

Very good chance that is angel wing, so if I were you I would read the links that @Soon2BChixMom posted, choose a wrapping mehod and wrap your ducklings wing. Wrapping it now before it gets worse would be best, IMO.
