Some domesticated ducks can get a condition called Angel Wing where the wing (or wings) do not grow properly during adolescence. Angel Wing can be caused by a nutrient deficiency during the bird's growth1. Feeding bread to Mallard ducks in the park (USA) is a major contributor to their susceptibility to Angel Wing; these ducks need to forage for themselves or eat a specially balanced pellet blend feed for ducks.
