is this a wing problem?

[Bantu]

Roan, a 4-5 week old rouen wings slide down a inch or so, she can pull them back into place. This started today. Her food is All Flock raiser crumbles and garden vegetables, romaine lettuce, cucumbers a tomatoes as a treat. She also has fresh water at all times.
Please tell me this is normal.

Just up and down? Sounds ok, is she acting weird any way else?

 

[Bantu]

No, she loves her food and daily bath. In fact she's my second to my mallard in activity.

Maybe she's cold? My ducks do it sometimes, so I don't think it's that bad

She did just finish a bath. Luke warm water . She's still in the house. We keep our home at 72°. Does it need to be warmer?

 

[Bills vs Beaks]

Nah 72 is good and hot lol
She should be good once she's dried off

A couple of things could be going on - she is a little damp under the wings and she is letting the undersides dry off, or she could be getting wing feathers and I am told that as they fill in, they are a little heavy for the wing muscles, and so it takes some adjusting.

Sounds within the range of normal to me.

Amiga is right......The wing feathers are growing in....Nothing to worry about....The feed sounds fine also.....


Cheers!
