Hi new duck momma here, I have 9 6 week old ducklings, some are Pekings, some are Indian Runners, most are crosses I believe. It's been an absolute joy!!
These two have a wing each that seemed "heavy" about a week ago. It's gotten much better, but I'm concerned that my chicken egg (long story) and brown fella might need to be wrapped for a few days. Just looking for a confirmation before I stress them before treatment, we're in the middle of a heatwave now and I dont want to cause undue stress.
Neither wing is cockeyed or pulling away from the body, they're just not quite tucked. Am I fretting over nothing? Is this a mild case that will rectify itself? Is this just the way ducks grow?
They're not super imprinted and bonded with me, pictures can be difficult as it's only me but I hope that's a good enough shot. Can definitely try to take again. I will have an assistant for the wrap.
I also have this guy, who seems complete opposite? His wing tips are peaking out from the back? Just wanted to know if that's normal or something I should take care of, and how?
I was hoping to move everyone outside to the duck house and run to start making acquaintances with the other lawn dinos (safety first, they will be separated for a while before mingling is allowed) just a last once over to make sure they're ready.
Thanks for your time!
