A wing sticking out like a hitcher thumb is what angel wing looks like can you get a good picture of this duckling and her wing?
What is the feed your using? name and protein level? and what treats?
Exactly how old now.
Angelwing can also be genetic so not always because of protein. Many of us use All flock feed and the protein is 20% in it. And don't have angel wing.
Hello miss lydia. We are using crushed feed for ducks which we got from a local farmer here. It is especially made for them. I donot know the protein content. Everything is quite limited here. They are 3 month old now. Here are some pics

Is the white duck the one you are concerned about? that looks like it may be just heavy wings that they need to develop muscle to hold up. Is she constantly adjusting? Droopy wings at this age are pretty normal, especially with the large duck breeds. Once they work those muscles they should hold them normally. I saw this with my Muscovy drakes they would adjust then the wing would drop down again then they would bring it back up to normal position finally the muscles are strong enough to hold them normally.
Can you get a picture of the Swedish from behind so we can see how the wing is laying?

I am concerned about the brown rouen. She seems to have droopy wings sometimes but as u said it might be because her wings are developing.here is a picture of black swedish droopy wing.

Even as young ducklings? Huh. I thought Rouen ducklings all looked very similarly with the black/yellow markings.
No not as ducklings. I meant when they are around 3 months you figure out their gender because of their feather. For my other ducks it was through their quacking that I figured out their gender
