Protect Against Angel Wing

Solution

Avoid feeding high-protein or high-carbohydrate diets (especially bread) to growing ducklings.

Explanation

Angel Wing is a deformity where the last joint of the wing twists outwards. It's often linked to excessively rapid growth caused by diets too high in protein/calories, particularly from sources like bread. Feeding a balanced starter feed helps prevent it.

Notes

If caught very early in ducklings, sometimes the wing can be gently taped into the correct position.
