Is this angelw wing?

Ok its been over a week since i noticed his wing getting worse so i wrapped it, have a few questions can u u wrap it to tight? how long should i leave it wrapped up if he doesnt pull it off by than. and did it look like i wrapped it right!!

MMM I believe your supposed to wrap it around teh wholwe body so the wing presses against the body to take its shape back...

It's hard to tell from the picture whether the tip of the wing is closest to the body. You can wrap it too tight. The joint shouldn't be too closed. Just wrap it tight enough to keep the tip of the wing closer to the body than the next section up. Hope that makes sense. Some people unwrap it every night . I think that would be a good idea - to let the joint move.

How's the anglewing going???

Um im kinda confused about it the wing i wrapped is healed, or fixed, but the other wing and the wings ont the female all seem to be drooping, there not flipping out like his was there seeming to be just to heavy to hold up all day, after they flap they can tuck them under, but after 30 seconds to a min they slowly fall!


P.S. the wing i had wrapped is very stiff, after i took the wrap off, he couldnt flap his wing it out all the way af frist but seems to be getting better!!

just give it time - listen to what others who have had success say. Maybe you left it on too long and his wing got too stiff?

On the drooping - ours do it all the time when it's hot or when they are resting... wouldn't worry too much about drooping - flipping is another story!!

I have a gos coming on with anglewing I am going to have to address shortly. Good thing it's fixable.... just keep after it!

I would say that it could go either way. I have had young geese that "fixed themselves" by folding the wing properly on their own. If this does not inprove in 3 days I would fold the wing the right way (check a normal wing to get it right) and wrap it in place. Caught early as this a short (24 hour) wrap may fix it. Basically the goose is folding its wing the wrong way and if it continues with the habit the jpint will develop wrong and there will be no way to fix it.
