This is a favorite of mine:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/angel-wing-treatment.1252014/

I've noticed a lot of discussion about angel wing in ducks lately and after having just dealt with it for the first time myself, I wanted to try to help others if possible. Now let me reiterate that I've only dealt with it just recently in two of my ducklings. I did not invent the method, but was instead following this video. It is also not the only way of dealing with it since every duck and owner are different, and what works for one person might not work for another. Still, if there are any questions and/or suggestions, feel free to post them. Sharing your experiences here may help others who are looking for answers!

What Is Angel Wing?
Angel wing is essentially when the flight feathers of the young bird develop faster than the muscles that usually hold them up. When the muscles can't take the sudden weight, the wing droops, causing the carpal bones to twist outward. This can then become permanent if not treated properly. It is not a death sentence, but it does prevent them from ever flying, and poses a high risk of catching on things. It's simple to fix, so there's no reason not to.

What Causes It?
All we have are theories at this point. The most common is that a diet too high in protein is to blame, causing them to grow too quickly. Another possibility is genetics. What we do know is that it seems to afflict the left wing the most.

P.S. My apologies on the poor video quality! My sister was kind enough to record it using her phone and I had to edit out sections where my ducklings decided that they no longer wanted to be involved, evidenced by my Saxony stress panting at the end. Maybe someday I'll redo it.

Not sure if any other peeps did this one yet but I can’t get my given reactions page to work so this was my most recent

I tend to do it the latter way.
Begin with: Open brackets, USER=, member number, close brackets.
I, for example, am member number 544410. Insert, and it should look like this:
View attachment 2443824
Next, use the tag (@), and put in whatever it is that you're calling them. For this demonstration, I'll call myself, "She Who Is Technologically Inept," because I am. Insert, and it should look like this:
View attachment 2443825
Then insert: Open brackets, forward slash, USER, close brackets. It should look like this:
View attachment 2443827
And should have this effect when you hit "Preview," at the bottom of your post:
@She Who Is Technologically Inept.

To find someone's member number, I hover my cursor over their username and look at the number that appears after their name in the link that pops up in the bottom-left corner of my screen.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/members/sapphire-sebright.544410/ <-- That number after the dot after my name is my member number.

Once you've typed in the "close brackets," (]) at the end of your string of code, you can put whatever else you want after that -- including punctuation, so please do remember to punctuate... I'm watching you....
@She Who Is Technologically Inept.

I also wanted to include the nested quotes post from @R2elk but several have already done that and I can’t find it in my reactions given page
