My poor Peepers! The start of angel wing? UPDATED pic in post 13

The pin feathers often look like that when they first come in. I wouldn't worry about it at this point. Pin feathers are very heavy with blood, and often turn out or stick up slightly when they come in. If it develops into angel wing, it will become quite obvious and severe--you'll know when it's time to tape them. What you've got there is a normal, healthy bird.

It certainly does, i would wrap it just incase. even if it isnt turning into angel wing i would still do it.

I have a goslin that looked like it had a slipped wing...today the feathers are sticking out for all to see...VET WRAP TIME!!!!!

In doing a search on how to wrap angel wing I found some older posts where people had special angel wing wraps that Nettie made. I just emailed her to see if she still makes these. If not I am gonna have to try and wrap her tiny lil wings

I would wrap both wings ASAP with any tape you have to hand. Those feathers should be flat against the back, or at least tucked under the elbow and not outside it as they appear to be.

Just fold the wing naturally and tape anyway you can so that the tape holds it in position. You won't hurt the ducky if you don't force anything.

Did you manage to wrap your ducky up. I did my gosling, I got white vet wrap so it wont be as noticable to the others. I wrapped the feathers to the (chicken wing part)small piecs of bony bit, then wrapped it to the wing then round her body twice. I put it on 1 1/2 hours ago and its still on. Heres hoping its still on tomorrow

S/he still had it on this morning. I was sooo happy about that

Yep, its white so none of the other babies have noticed and no one has been picking at it
