Duck wing tips crossed on their back

[tdgill]

Am I having one of those "what can I worry about now?" days??? lol. Just seems odd that I noticed yesterday all my 3.5 month old duckies longest wing feathers are folding on top of their backs. Reminds you of a swallow's tail....

looking for my camera...darn! But I'm certain someone has seen this before.

With some breeds it is normal- with others it is a fault in show quality birds- ( the wings should almost touch but not cross. ) Its not an indication that there is wrong with your duck as such, but at that age they arent quite fully grown anyway- with some filling out the wings may not cross quite so much.

thanks guys! I was hoping it was an age related thingy.

Normal and not a health hazard.

As long as the wing tips aren't pointing outward, the ducks are OK.
