Injured wing?

Did an exam. She let me pull out the wing as far as the other with no issue. Nothing feels broken or out of place. The joint closer to the body does feel a little bigger than the other side. I tried getting a video of me doing the exam but camera wasnt in the right spot. Got her walking around though.
 
I am no expert with wing issues but you said when you got her she was in a pen with about 30 other ducks. Something makes me think that might be where the injury came from if it is from an injury. Hopefully someone will recognize exactly what's going on here! Beautiful ducks! What do you feed and does she lay eggs?

I feed game bird feed mixed with layer feed. (I have ducks, chickens and turkeys together.)
She isn't laying right now. She was with the group that were laying until it got super cold out
 
Hmm, well that pretty much rules out a dietary issue. I am still thinking maybe an old injury. @Miss Lydia Do you think it needs to be wrapped up at this point in time?
Has the wing sat like this since you got her or is this something that just started happening?

Since I got her I've seen it. This past week seemed to be looking worse, or could be the fact shes getting used to me and not just running away and hiding
 
Could be an old injury but if she is worrying more with it maybe try wrapping and see if having the wing in proper position will help could be a bad sprain that needs support. If possible while you wrap I’d put her and her drake separate from the other birds. But where they can all still see each other. No swimming while wrapped. Some poultry vitamins can help support healing.
