Early angel wing?

[cheezenkwackers]

My youngest Hookbill duckling, Noodles, looks like he might be developing angel wing on the left side. His wing tips are white so it is easy to see. I am not worried about the old feathers which are sticking out. I am worried about the way the left wing tip points up and not under the other feathers when he is resting. Do I start taping?

It's difficult to tell from that angle. I would hold off a bit but monitor closely.

Ok, thanks! That was what I was as thinking but I have never dealt with angel wing before.

I held off and you were right, he was fine. Then, I hatched another Hookbill duckling. I had six eggs, only one made it to lockdown and hatched. This one looks even more like early angel wing to me. What do you think? Suggestions?

Sure looks like the beginning stages.
