Muscovy duck.. angel wing?

[Tattoodmama]

He was hatched in Spring. I have had him for about a month. The friend said his wings could just be coming in… but this is looking ridiculous. What do I do? Wrap him? Is it too late? Does this hurt him?

Definitely angelwing. Honestly at this point, it's probably permanent, but it doesn't really hurt them in a serious way. My drake has it just like that and he's fine, just weird looking

That is very bad angel wing, yes..

I don’t believe wrapping will make a difference at this point. You have to catch it when they’re young and their wings are still growing.

The wing itself should not hurt, it’s mostly just cosmetic, but it could get snagged on things, or whack against things, and be painful that way.

Since those are the flight feathers, you could always trim them back a touch so he doesn't get snagged on things.

What a shame, such a beautiful boy. It may be genetic so I wouldn't use him for breeding.

That's what I plan to do with my big male, I'd trim them.

Make sure you use a big towel or blanket to buffer his nails from scratching you too badly
