Hi everyone,
One of my ducks has lost most of her wing feathers, however, i don't think it is angel wings because her wings are still shaped normally...It isn't looking too pretty so I was wondering what to do. Should I take her to a vet? She is also almost 1 year old. Here is a photo:

She may be molting, or at least a early molter. one of my drakes started first. Then the rest followed. he looks realy ragged now but is growing new feathers
 
You are correct on it not being Angel Wing, from the picture it appears there are pin feathers which is indicative that the bird is currently molting. To confirm that's the case, you may examine the feathers a little closer and note whether they look similar to this:
