Is this Angel wing?

[chickenpal147]

I have a 2 month almost 3 month old duckling who’s right wing new feathers are poking out is this what angel wing is and how do I fix it?

It def looks like the start of angel wing which you can fix if you wrap asap. another bit of info https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...ucks-how-we-wrap-to-mend-it-pictorial.644239/

Wait till more of the wing feathers grown out. If they drastically stick out it's angel wing.

It’s just beginning and if you catch it now it fixes faster. But of course @chickenpal147 you can wait till it gets worse.

If your seeing this then I'd go ahead and wrap.

Your duck is at the prime age
https://www.fresheggsdaily.com/2019/03/preventing-and-treating-angel-wing-in.html according to this it says it rarely occurs in the right wing alone so we'll leave it up to you to decide if this is angel wing since your there with your duck.

What are you feeding? How much protein?

@Miss Lydia is correct, it is rare in the right wing. I think if it were my duck I would probably wrap it.

I’m feeding it a starter specifically for ducks and an occasional handful of mealworms. Also I did wrap it last night just to be safe.

Most starters are 20 to 22% and only to be used for the first two weeks, excessive protein can contribute to angel wing.
