Hi all! Well I went against my instincts and got a duck at the auction over the weekend. It was being sold as a female muscovy and was a lovely ripple. I never buy birds there because you don't know what you are getting. But I needed another girl so thought why not. Well when I got home I found out not only is she a he but has a bad case of aglel wing. Infact I thought it was broken until I looked closer. Well I have never dealt with angel wing. The drake is around 12-14 weeks I would say, is that too old to correct it? I have him wrapped up wings in place. Not going to keep him as a breeder. I will either find him a new home letting the people know about the angel wing or or he'll go to freezer camp when he gets bigger.
I know there is a debate whether angel wing is is is genetic or nutritional. I personally think it's genetic. My 1st time getting muscovy eggs I got them from a farm that had lots of many duck breeds. Only the muscovy had angel wing. I'm glad none of those eggs hatch.
