Is this angel wing?

I will either be an expert wraper or the goslings will declare mutiny and lock me up somewhere.

I've got a duckling with angel wing, too, and I'm getting ready to try learning how to wrap her wing. I don't think she's going to be too happy about it, and her siblings (who are all very, very bonded) are probably going to be like, "WHAT did Mom do to you???"

I wrapped one of my goslings the other day and took the advice from someone else here on BYC. I wrapped the colored vet wrap (didn't have white) with white tape to keep it from "sticking out like a sore thumb". I don't think the other geese/gosling even noticed it is there!

Glad to hear you were able to keep it on. It is much more effective that way.

I'm going through a similar problem with my Muscovy ducks. I have a 2 month old duckling developing his wing feathers and they are sticking out similar to the gosling in the pic. I taped them up and it straightened them but they still aren't completely up against his body. Lightning struck many times in this young duck's life. I bought him from a lady who kept him in a filthy rabbit cage with a wooden floor so he was literally swimming in his own filth. I wouldn't have paid money for him but I couldn't leave him there. When I got him home, I saw he had very painful Bumblefoot (an infection of the foot pad). After treating it, I then found out that he had angel wing. It seems like this poor guy will never win.

Three out of four goslings have completely normal wings now!!! One of the little guys still has a gap. Do I rewrap or will this correct itself? He constantly keeps hitching the left wing (his left) up like its bugging him somehow.

it doesnt look turned out, i would leave unwrapped and watch to see what it does. the blood feather cause them to hitch the wings up a lot until fully grown in.

When Charlotte had her angel wing, her wing feathers were coming in and were heavy with the blood that nourishes the growing feather. This droop is temporary. She had one normal droop and one wing with Angel wing.... when the end of the wing sticks out almost at a right angle to the body and the end of the wing doesn't lay under the mid section of the wing.
