This is my one month old Duck, Cheese. Not sure what breed - I hatched him (not confirmed yet) from a farm egg on a whim so I don’t know what breed. I have chickens so why not some ducks? 🤪

He’s about 3.6 lbs - grew really fast. The other duck I hatched is a different breed but her pin feathers don’t look like this.

Is this the begging of angel wing? If so, what do I do to correct it? Wrap? Increase his vitamin b?

He was on duckling food for the first two and a half weeks and then I moved him to grower (he’s brooding with two chicks). I’ve added Brewer’s Yeast to their food since hatching and added .5 mg of the vitamin B complex orally per day when I moved them to grower feed. They get green peas and mealworms as treats.

He swims every day in his kiddie pool too.

Can you post a photo of the two of them together? Your duckling looks normal to me, but others with more experience may have more info.
This is the other one - a girl - she’s started to quack. Still not sure what he is but I’m going with a boy for now. I’ll get a pick of them together today - they never hold still so it’s always a fun time. 😬

Hmm...I don't know much about Angel Wing. Those pin feathers do look a little strange coming in, but it might be completely normal. The diet you're feeding them sounds great. Hopefully someone with more experience might be able to help.
