Help. Treatin angel wing

[goose man al]

My gooslings left wing sticks out a little I need any tip to prevent this angel wing. Can I tie his wing to his side also he is getin feathers so is it normal for them to stick out a bit or not

angel wing is caused by too much protein in the diet.. the feathers are forming faster than the muscle that holds them .

taping the wing might help, and cut back on the protein in the feed..

Reduce the protein and add lots and lots of greens. You can tape the wing but it really matters how old the goose is. Once they get their adult plumage, I was told that it won't work.

Good luck.

It shouldn't be that low! What was it before? It should really be at least 15-18% for growing birds.

 

[jvls1942]

whatever you are doing to correct the angel wing and it is working, keep doing it.. 10% protein is ok.
nobody is going to get stunted..
If they are out on grass they are probably getting extra protein, anyhow..
