Angel Wing?

[needlessjunk]

When does angel wing start to form? My little girls are 3 weeks today and I have read through all the angel wing posts but I've noticed that most of the ducklings are 5+ weeks. I noticed that the tip of my white layer's wing starting to pointing out away from her body. Just the left one and I noticed it yesterday. I know they go through a funky wing stage and I hope that is just what it is. She is just getting her pin feathers and doesn't have anything but down on her wings. I can get a pic if that will help.

If it's just the left wing it's likely AW. But yes, a photo would be delightful!

Didn't Woobles have AW?

And for good measure here is all of them outside enjoying our 70 degree winter day!

Yeah he did, and yeah, that looks like the start of slipped wing. I couldn't tell you about wrapping though, Wobs was treated when I was still interning at the vet clinic and I always had at least two pairs of hands to help me.

Lucky you with the wrapping, but I'm pretty confident I can do it myself. I saw lots of pics when searching the topic. Would you wrap now or wait a little longer just to be sure that is AW?

The sooner, the better. Since he's still so tiny you should only have to leave it on for a couple of days. Max, a week.
