1 week old chick with 1 wing tip drooping.

[Chickenmama97]

I have a 1 week old Olive egger chick. As his primary wing feathers are coming in, I have noticed that the wing tip on one side is drooping. After some “Google” research it looks similar to Angel Wing. I realize that Angel wing is much more common in waterfowl, however it can happen in any bird. How does one treat this condition? I am attaching one photo. It is hard to pin her down to get a good photo. She is moving, eating, and drinking just fine. She does not act ill at all.

I am using a sock (with the foot part cut off ) on a duckling 4 weeks old right now for about the same amount of angel wing as your chick seems to have. I tried several different sock until I found one that fit her the best and stayed on
