Could be it is just a late bloomer let us hope.

I never seen anything quite like that either.

Do not think there is much you can do except hope for the best.

I also have never seen anything like that. Hopefully the weight of the pinfeathers is pulling the wing out like that. It almost looks like angel wing in ducks. Keep us updated on how this bird does.

Thanks to you both! I will keep you updated..so far no change

Use a piece of electrician's tape around the wing after laying the feathers in the proper position (primaries under secondaries). Keep the tape on for at least 4 days and then check. This can be permanent if not corrected. It comes from extra protein in the diet causing the protein rich feathers to grow too fast. Good luck

Thank you! Will try!

I went out this morning to maybe try my best to tape the poor thing all up and the little guy was up on top of the nest box with his parents wing looking completely normal....Hokum you were right just a late bloomer! I was very pleased!

@Sourland I had that condition in a few Muscovy ducks. Is there anything you can do for it? It did not affect the taste any I am glad to say.

they say angel wing is caused by to much protein in the feed did you feed a chicken starter most the time that is the problem just looks bad birds are normal other than that
