My Cayuga duckling has both of their flight wings hanging down. I got her and a Rouen May 14th from Rural king. The
Rouen was a little bigger, still is and quacking already. While my Cayuga isn’t quacking yet. I figured it was the breed or maybe they’re a week or so apart in age. Then the last couple weeks I’ve noticed both flight wings just hang down and she’ll pull them back up sometimes. It doesn’t seem to hurt but obviously bothersome since she’s pulling them up. I’ve very new to ducklings so any help would be very appreciated. Im adding some pictures of her/him standing, and then laying down from the back and side view. I’m not sure if there’s another way to post videos but I’m posting a few links for now.

when ducklings start growing in their flight feathers they are heavy with blood so they hang they adjust they hang they adjust, this goes on until the muscles in the wings are strong enough to hold them up in the proper position No need to worry.
