Droopy wings on 5 week old mallard

[bayouchica]

They free range now & have plenty of pools & flock raisier.The one in question has energy,eats good & is feathering out like the others.I just don't know why it's doing that.They don't drag the ground,just don't stay tucked in like the others.
It's been very hot here. I refresh their water several times a day,so what's going on ?

Thanks,Miriam

It could be the weather is affecting him. It is too late in his life for angel wing.
Or if he is getting his big biy feathers in they are filled with blood and are heavy.
If he seems healthy in all other respects, just keep an eye on him. He should be better soon!

Oh, my ducks say that a little watermelon or Cheerios will do wonders for his wings.

Couple of my ducklings' wings did that around that age. It was gone by 7 weeks once the flight feathers were grown in and not so heavy.
