Angel Wing Treatment

[CayugaJana]

If you were wanting to do the wrap, you could do the same thing in her video on each side. I wouldn’t think it would take more than a week to correct angel wing.

Question, how do you do this wrap, if both wings need to be wrapped?

I found the easiest and most successful way was to do a vet wrap around the body and then put a sock over it. Any other method we tried was uncessful

Hello all! Here is an update! We finally were successful in fixing Launchpad’s angel wing by using both vet wrap and a sock! Here she is now (she is the larger one with her back to us) look at those beautiful wings!!

I have my first duckling developing angel wing. Plan on wrapping it tonight. Thanks for the video! Very helpful!

My duckling was the runt. At one point I wasn’t sure if he would make it. But with a little tlc he pulled through with flying colors. Then yesterday I noticed the angel wing starting. I watched the video several times but his wing is soooo tiny compared to all the other videos and pictures I have seen. Plus he’s a call duck, so he’s already tiny. Did I do it correctly or will this at least work? I tucked the feathers under the elbow and just wrapped (which was quite a challenge because he’s super strong)!

They are small but mighty for sure! I had one with Angel wing on both sides. Very difficult with their small size. I got one side to correct but the other side still sticks out some. I plan to try again when she molts her flight feathers. I done a different style of wrap than the one in this video.. . one that went around the entire body. It was a pita. I will be doing this wrap when I try again. I hope it works for you! please give us updates

You can also slip a sock[sizing depends on size of duck]or ladies or child's stocking over. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/peking-duckling-with-crooked-neck-help.761308/page-3 starting at post 29

My 10 month old Call duck started molting, so I wrapped one of her Angel wings. 60 hours later, and it corrected!

ya a a! Did you wrap it just as soon as you noticed the primaries had molted out, or did you wait until they had grown out a bit?
