I know I ask a lot of questions, but does this look like angel wing on my little drake? Or is it just his feathers coming in? If it does look like that, what should we do?
He's around 7 weeks old. Been fed Purina flock raiser since pretty much the beginning, some unmedicated chick starter at first (what he was eating when I got him around 2 weeks old). They get brewer's yeast as well.
He and the other 3 are currently in a tractor supply coop over grass. Usually let them out to graze for a short time each day (letting them grow a bit more before introducing them to my free range flock). They've had watermelon maybe twice? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
ETA - I did not incubate this duck, but I know that the gal who did lost power while he was in the incubator (hence his three "replacement egg" friends here). I don't know for how long, but probably several hours at least. We had a line of bad storms on Easter. She was surprised he hatched. Not sure if that matters.
