Help me with feeding my duck

[Nkennedy0718]

I have a duckling, Rocky(he or she) is almost 8 weeks, Rocky has Angel wings on both wings,I have the wings wrapped,but she will not eat greens! I bought alfalfa tablets cause thats what I read I need to add to Rockys diet,along with lots of greens and protein, Rocky won't eat veggies, it loves cat food and I will put veggies in the cage and Rocky will not eat until I let it out of its cage and run over and eat the wet cat food. I bought Mazuri to feed after the duckling feed and Rocky won't eat that either. Rocky will eat watermelon, and granola but that is it. I've tried all different lettuces and veggies with no luck. HELP!! PLEASE!! And I still can't tell if Rocky is a boy or girl.

I have found that too much protein in the diet causes angel wing. Green feed is not the cause and will not help. Reduce the protein in Rocky's diet. It is likely too late for a change in diet to help. Keeping the wings bound for a couple weeks may help. Ducks are not the most willing of patients and will do anything they can to remove the binding. You may have to accept Rocky as he is. What kind of duck is Rocky? If he/she is any breed/species other than muscovy, you can tell the sex by now on his/her voice. Females quack loud. Drakes have a soft raspy voice; not a quack at all-ONLY FEMALES QUACK.
