Angel wing in call ducks

[Kalileigh09]

I have four baby call ducks they are about 1 month old now. One looks like it’s starting to get angel wing. They have only been on duck food and have only had duck eggs as a treat. Should I add something else to their diet and should I wrap it.
I’m attaching a pic sorry he’s wet they were swimming in the tub when I noticed.

Yes wrap or use a panty hose cut to size and slip it over the duckling it usually only take 3-4 days to fix. But keep the duckling out of water while wearing it.
cute babies

Those look like Black Swedish calls! Last spring I had my first Black Swedish (full size) and they were my first ducks that ever developed angel wing. After researching here last spring I wondered if this breed is more prone to angel wing. I added more of the adult food to their diet, trying to lessen the protein, and put them in a stretchy sock for a week or two to keep their wings in proper position. They went on to develop perfectly normal wings.

How cute I’ll try the socks he was too tiny and got out of the pantyhose quickly lol
I think two are blue Swedish one is chocolate and one is black but I’m not sure they were in a dozen mixed call duck eggs and I’m not good at telling

Hopefully this works he escaped the pantyhose pretty quickly
