Onset of Angel Wings??

[featherweather61]

Hello!

I have 6 ducklings and from an early age it seemed like my Black Swedish with white wing tips had a slight upward curve to her wings. I thought maybe I was just noticing it more since they were white and stood out but now as she's a bit bigger I'm worried maybe it is the onset of Angel Wing?

I've seen lots of pictures of angel Wing in adult ducks but have had a hard time finding examples of ducklings in the early stages of the condition.

Any input? Should I start wrapping her?

P.s. I've been feeding them manna pro duck starter and after week 2 have been mixing in oats to reduce the protein content to around 16%. However I also regularly give them meal worms so maybe they're getting too much protein still??

Does this help?

Does this help?

So my ducklings wings look maybe like this ducklings right wing, not like the left. Do you think the duckling in this picture has the condition on both wings or only her left??

If mine I’d wrap the right looks like it’s starting more so than the left but might be best to do both what do you think @casportpony ?

I think I might wrap both.
