Chick with feathers sticking out

[ShaylaJ]

Hello! I have a black copper maran chick around 10 days old that has wing feathers sticking out. The rest of the chicks are normal with their wings laying flat to their body but the ends of this chicks wings are sticking out awkwardly. Is this a problem or will it just go back to normal on its own?

It will go back to normal as time goes on.

I know isn't it weird! also for an update, my chickens wings are normal now so I hope your chick's wings go back to normal too!

she’s perfectly healthy. idk why they flared, but they’re normal again now. i did add brewers yeast to their chick starter crumbles, hoped it would help. idk if it did, or just time helped. but she’s good now
