Beginnings of angel wing?

The pictures you provided on post #1 didn't accurately show how the feathers were starting to twist upwards, The ones you just posted definitely looks like she has Angel Wing , so I would suggest bandaging the wing feathers back into place with vet wrap.

You might think about not feeding free choice. Wrap it for sure.

That very first picture that was posted (the one where the duckling is in the kiddie pool bin) you can see the angel wing is beginning. How many weeks old are they? And what is the protein content of your feed? Angel wing is caused by too much protein. Also a good idea is to back off on the mealworms on all of your ducklings. How many mealworms were you giving them?
I recommend you get the Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks By Dave Holderread. It has been extremely helpful as I have been trouble-shooting and figuring out how to help and care for my own ducklings.
I wish you luck and hope your duckling gets better!

I was doing handful but I’ll stop. And find different treats. I also bought oats to mix in their food to lower the protein. Today I’ll try to wrestle her to wrap it up. Oy!!

It sounds like you are doing a great job with your ducklings. I've read posts on here even where they did everything correctly but the duckling still got angel wing.
I looked up your feed and it says that it is 18% protein. You might try 16% protein. How many weeks old are they?
Good luck!

For sure 5 weeks. I got the Rouen’s from tractor supply though so they could be older? Or younger? It’s a surprise
