    Wing feathers injured

    Our Pekin duck has disfigured wing feathers and a strange discoloration that almost looks like mildew in places. She is not being picked on by the flock. She has access to a pond and has clean, dry bedding. The other ducks look healthy. We initially thought the discoloration might be genetic...

    Silkie Chick: Slipped Wings?

    Hi all, Can you take a look at a few photos of my silkie chick and tell me what you think of it's wings? They stick out a good amount and point away from it's body. It's much more docile and calm than it's siblings. I'm hoping there's not something wrong..? Thank you! ull]2216846[/ATTACH]

    Duck wing feathers

    Our Pekin has had discolored wing feathers for a while now. We thought she was just molting, but they have looked beige like this for a few months now. It’s on both wings. She is eating and laying regularly. She has daily access to a pond. Everything seems normal except the large wing feathers...

    Wacky wing on my 4 week old male american buff gosling

    Hello everyone! I have a quick question about my 4 week old American Buff Gosling. We got them 3 weeks ago, and they are very well and happy, but my male gosling (Liam Geesan) has, what I think, is an under developed wing. I heard about angel wing, but I don't beleive that is the problem...

    Something's wrong with my ducks wings

    This duck was "dumped" at my pond several months ago. She fit right in with everyone else and I was happy to have her. I noticed her feathers were a little thin a few weeks back but I figured maybe she was moulting? Today when I saw them I couldn't believe how bad they were. Does anyone know...

    Clip wings?

    New to ducks - do we need to clip the wings on our ducklings to keep them homebound? or do they just stick around through the winter because we feed them?

    Angel wing? Or just slow feather growth?

    Hey y’all! Our newest girls are 5 weeks old. We have a runner and two blue Swedish. One of my blue Swedish has some weird stuff going on with her wing feathers. I’ve never had a duck with angel wing, so I’m not sure if it’s that or just slow feather growth. They were fed Manna Pro Duckling...

    Identifying gender

    How accurate is this? Based on the feather growth I'd say I have 3 hens according to this so if you have any experience with this let me know if you think this image is accurate. Kez

    The Late Bloomer

    So my last post about Lucy (aka Nubby) talked mostly about her weird nubby wings (which is still a mystery), as well as her lack of feathers. Well, today I found an article about delayed feathering in chicks. It's not something I've personally come across before raising chicks, so I thought I...

    Brahma acting different.

    One of my buff brahma roos almost 10 weeks old is much smaller than the rest and he walks with kind of droopy wings. He eats and drinks fine the others do not seem to bother him. I have checked him for mites and lice and he is clear and I did a fecal and that too is clear. No coughing, no...

    Twisted / dislocated wing

    So I have been having trouble with my first set of chicks. This chick(the one in the photo) along with 3 other of its brothers/sisters have been mysteriously twisting the ends of their wings at the joint. They don’t seem to be in pain until I twist them back straight. I have had one be perfectly...

    Is This Normal????

    I hatched 6 chicks in the incubator. They are outside in the brooder now. Today is day number five for them and one of them has these big wings hanging down and away from his body. None of the others have these wings and I've never seen this in a 5 day old chick. Is this normal? This is a...

    Bare duck wings

    I have 3 ducks: one Pekin (male), one Kahki (female) and one female offspring of the other 2. The "daughter" has had - with varying intensity - bare quills on her wings for months. In the spring I thought it was overmating/aggression/stress from the male, then I thought maybe a misfire on...

    Rooster mating? Help.

    So, my rooster is a master escape artist, and I can never keep him in the backyard. Recently he's been finding ways to get over the 6.5ft fence around our yard, and he isn't protected from anything when he's in the front. I know if you clip a male parrots wings he cannot breed because of lack...

    Weird Duck Wings

    Hi, I am not a duck keeper (I have chickens), but I saw a duck at a local park with some very strange wings. Some of her wing feathers were sticking straight out sideways, perpendicular to her body. She didn’t seem to be in pain. She flapped her wings and the feathers were clearly attached, not...
