my call duck has angle wing. What should I use to wrap it? Also how long should I keep it wrapped and how tight does it need to be? Thanks so much!!!
 
When almost all of my turkey poults had angelwing, I used a light medical tape that peeled off real easy. I tucked the tip of the wing under the upper section of wing and lightly taped it. Not to the body, just the wing. I left this on for 5 days and when I removed it the wings were normal. I did this the minute I started to notice the angelwings. Good luck.
 
I have used duct tape (hard to remove but it works) and vetwrap. You have to be careful when using vetwrap not to get dirt or feathers in the cut end or it will not stick to inself well and the others will peck and loosen it. Its so easy to cure angel wing I dont understand why I still see it on peoples birds. I have also tried the whole body wrap and the individual wrap. The whole body wrap seems to bother them more but individual wing wrapping you need to be sure the wing is aligned in the natural position. Dont get it too tight just tight enough so it wont slip around and will hold the wing in position. About 5 days does the trick usually:)
 
I used an ace bandage....For 3 days feed tons of green cut the protein..
