Hi! I have 11 Call Ducklings, and one of them is developing a weird wing. Its flight feathers are growing away from the body instead of along the body. Does anyone have a really good picture of angel wing so I can see if that is it? I "googled" it but there aren't any great pics that I can find. Also, will this affect her later on? She acts just like all the other ducks. I'm sure she won't be able to fly but that doesn't bother me. I would get pics but I'm not promising anything cuz its a huge pain in the butt to get one and post it.

Thanks for any info!

Pics would be helpful.

I fthe duck is young, you can use vet wrap and tape the wing into position. Rewrap every few days as needed to allow for growth and once a week or so, leave the wrap off for a few hours to stretch. It might take a couple weeks, but if caught soon enough, it can be corrected.
