guys, I think my duckling is disabled (sorry, I don't know the right word to describe it so I said disabled), the left-wing is not normal. I didn't realize till today, she's now 2 months old and 3 weeks. when she was little, she did have her wings down all the time, I thought that she did that cause she's relaxed? and I didn't think about it too much because she used to put her wings up anytime she wanted to.

Now, those days I saw that her wing is kind of weird-looking (when she didn't have feathers it didn't show), when I kept thinking about it I remembered that when she was young her arms? Idk what to call them, but I realized that she was like this from the day she hatched.
Note: the mother and the father are our muscovies too.

do you have any advice on what should I do? and do I have to worry too much about it? she doesn't seem to be bothered by them. here are some photos of her (him*)

Where do you keep him/her most of the time?
When he was a duckling, he was inside with me because his father kept bullying him (he has another brother that got hurt badly because of the father, now he's all good). when he became one month old, we maked sure that the place is safe for him, then we moved him outside with the other ducks. It's like a big cage, where they can run and play with the mud. he been there now for a month and a half.

I was just wondering since smooth floors all of the time would not be good, if that was the case, but it's not.

Anyway, I hope your questions was answered with being the angel wing. My gosling had it when he was little, and I bandaged his wing. The bandage came off in less than a day, but was long enough to correct it.

ohh okay, the pictures was taken outside the cage, they love to chill outside with us for an hour or two that's why.

I tried to bandage his wings today several times, but it just keep coming off in less than an hour, so I will try again and again till his wings gets better.

Thank you so much.
