PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP POSSIBLY A BROKEN WING

[Hutchy1989]

Can anyone help. My duck (Blaze) wing seems to have dropped. She doesnt appear in any pain. She is eating, drinking, digging doing all her normal things.

She even manages to just about flap both her wings. I am assuming if it were broken she wouldn't be able to do this.

Ive put a picture below. I hope someone can give some clarity

@Canadian Wind is this angel wing?

Can you catch her and feel each bone to see if any are broken?

here is a thread with the same kind of problem and some good advice was given

since she can move it I doubt anything is broken and its fantastic that she is eating and drinking
when i had a duck with broken bone she refused to eat i had to tube feed.
How old is your duck and What all does she eat?

How about taking pictures from different angles? From the front and the back?

How old is she? Could she just be moulting into her flight feathers and she's getting used to the weight of them? I've had that with a few of mine.

Thank you.

Yeah she is eating her normal foods and i have given her favourite treat PEAS haha.

As i watch her at this moment she is pruning her feathers on the wing which is slightly hanging.

Ill get some more.

Shes 5 years old and shes moulting. I was just concerned as it was only the one wing and not both

I doubt it would be angel wing at this age then, but I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to AW. Will wait for the additional pictures.

Glad she's acting normal at least!

Hope these are helpful. Shes twitching it and moving it every few moments. Shes pruning her feathers including the wing. She keeps on flapping her wings too.

As i said shes eating and drinking. Her feathers are still coming through so dont know if its that?
