Ducklings and feathers

[Jjncr]

Hello...I am learning so much here. Thank you all!! I have 5 week old ducklings that are getting....quills? that are showing. Their wings are folded up correctly, but they keep picking them up....I guess they're getting used to them?

I'm so afraid of angel wings.....does anyone have a picture of what they look like at the very beginning?

Just started them on Brewers Yeast. Thanks y'all!!

4 Rouens and 4 Welch Harlequins.....gosh are they smart. '

here is a picture of my duck that got Angel wing. See the little "quills" sticking straight up? That is what they look like when their flight feathers start growing in only they should tuck up under the wing. Sometimes they droop a little bit while they are getting used to their weight and you will see them. Don't worry unless they are jutting out from their body at a weird angle like this one did.
